Objective: Microorganisms of the Myroides genus are common in the environment, especially in water but rarely seen as an infectious agent in humans. It was described uncommonly in immunocompetent patients. Their treatment is challenging due to their resistance to many antibiotics. Herein, we report the Myroides spp-associated nosocomial urinary tract infection outbreak occurring in tertiary intensive care. Methods: A total of 9 Myroides spp reproductions in 7 patients were included in the study between July 2019 and December 2019. Results: For Myroides species known to have multi-drug resistance, response to the combined treatment of ciprofloxacin and rifampicin was achieved in 5 out of 7 patients.
