Abstract
In the past, many life threatening infections caused by Myroides, a Gram negative bacteria have been reported. These include sepsis, bacteraemia, pneumonia, wound infections and urinary tract infections. It is challenging to treat infections caused by Myroides as it is resistant to most of the antibiotics. We report a 66 years old diabetic patient developing catheter associated urinary tract infection due to Myroides resistant to commonly used antibiotics.
