Abstract
Myroides spp. is a challenge for clinicians, especially for the immunosuppressed patients or for the patients in the intensive care unit. The genus Myroides infections are uncommon, rarely reported from the clinical samples. It is resistant to many antibacterials, so this microorganism should be considered by clinicians. Here we report a case about Myroides spp in intensive care unit. Although it was not considered as a pathogen, we faced to another cases in the unit after this case. We can see outbreaks in these units, so that’s why we wonder if it is an emerging pathogen or not.
