Poor Effect of Empiric Antibiotic Treatment of Gram‐Negative Bacteria on <i>Myroides</i> spp.: A Case Report and Literature Review
<i>Myroides</i> spp. are widely resistant opportunistic pathogens to acknowledge to be out of reach for first-line empiric antibiotic treatment. <i>Myroides</i> cases reported earlier have suggested soil exposure or pig bite as potential sources of infection. In the case described here, one possible source of <i>Myroides</i> might be cat scratches or cat licks.
