Abstract :
In recent years, Myroides species have gained recognition as significant opportunistic pathogens, capable of inducing severe infections, especially in immunocompromised individuals. This case report documents an instance of urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by Myroides species in a 68-year-old man with a complex medical history, including both cryptococcal and tuberculous meningitis. Additionally, we explored the ultimate patient outcomes and present an up-to-date review of the scientific literature pertaining to UTIs associated with Myroides species. This case highlights the emerging importance of Myroides species in clinical settings and underscores the need for increased awareness among healthcare professionals.
