Myroides odoratus and Chryseobacterium indologenes: Two rare isolates in the immunocompromised.

ABSTRACT

Myroides spp and Chryseobacterium spp are uncommon clinical isolates, though more frequently reported to cause infections than other pigmented non‑fermentors. Two cases of Myroides odoratus and Chryseobacterium indologenes infection in a diabetic with pulmonary tuberculosis and a patient with de‑compensated alcoholic liver disease, respectively, are reported here. Anti‑microbial susceptibility testing of the isolates was performed by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration. The clinical picture, characteristic features of the isolates and the antibiotic susceptibility pattern are discussed briefly.
