Abstract

Myroides odoratimimus is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen known to rarely cause a wide range of opportunistic infections in humans. We report a novel case of M. odoratimimus bacteremia in a paraplegic patient with an extensive medical history likely due to a tunneled dialysis catheter infection that was successfully treated with levofloxacin.
