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

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.

Isolation and Identification of Myroides odoratus in Municipal Sewage / 环境与健康杂志

Objective To isolate and identify the pathogenic bacterial strain Myroides odoratus from municipal sewage in Zhenjiang city.Methods With selective medium,a pathogenic bacterial strain JD23 was isolated from the city sewage.Combining the modern molecular biology technology methods and bioinformatics methods,its taxonomic status was confirmed by 16S rDNA gene sequence homologous analysis and phylogenetic tree.The traditional experiments of physiology,biochemistry and morphology were also studied.Results Strain JD23 exhibited the highest levels(98%) of similarity to the Myroides odoratus M58777.2.Combining all the results of several methods and morphological observation,strain JD23 was finally identified as the bacterial classification Myroides odoratus.Conclusion There was a pathogenic microorganism,Myroides odoratus,in municipal sewage of Zhenjiang city.
