Abstract
Myroides species have recently been reported more frequently in outbreaks in clinics and intensive care units (ICUs). In this study, we aimed to investigate the epidemic potential, antibiotic resistance profile, and risk factors of M. odoratimimus isolates that are increasingly being isolated from the ICUs of our hospital. Data from patients whose Myroides spp. were isolated from their clinical specimens over a 5-year period (September 2016 to January 2022) were retrospectively analyzed. Bacterial identification was performed using a matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). The presence of antibiotic resistance genes was analyzed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Possible clonal associations between isolates were investigated using enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC)-PCR. As a result, 66 isolates were identified as M. odoratimimus and one isolate was identified as M. odoratus. The blaMUS resistance gene was detected in all M. odoratimimus isolates, whereas sul2 was detected in ten isolates and tetX was detected in 11 isolates. No other resistance genes, such as blaTUS, were detected. Additionally, two different clonal association patterns were discovered in the 24 selected isolates through the ERIC-PCR method. The increase in the immunosuppressive patient population indicate the possibility of encountering this agent and other opportunistic pathogens more frequently in the future.

Abstract
An aerobic, Gram-negative, non-motile, yellow-to-orange pigmented and round bacterium, designated strain SCSIO 72103T, was isolated from sediment collected in the Pearl River Estuary, Guangdong Province, PR China and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Growth occurred at 20-37 °C (optimum, 28 °C), pH 6-8 (optimum, pH 7) and with 1-5.5% NaCl (optimum, 1-3 %). Comparative 16S rRNA gene analysis indicated that strain SCSIO 72103T had the highest similarities to Flavobacterium baculatum SNL9T (94.7 %) and Myroides aquimaris SW105T (94.2 %). Phylogenetic analysis based 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain SCSIO 72103T formed a single clade with M. aquimaris SW105T. Strain SCSIO 72103T contained iso-C15 : 0 as the major fatty acid and the predominant respiratory quinone was menaquinone MK-6. These characteristics are consistent with those of F. baculatum SNL9T and M. aquimaris SW105T. Phosphatidylethanolamine, most notably, unidentified aminolipid and unidentified aminophospholipid were major polar lipids. Strain SCSIO 72103T had a single circular chromosome of 2.96 Mb with a DNA G+C content of 35.1 mol%. The average nucleotide identity, average amino acid identity (AAI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values showed that the pairwise similarities between SCSIO 72103T and the type strains of F. baculatum SNL9T and M. aquimaris SW105T were 78.5-80.5 %, 79.0-81.4 % and 22.7-22.8 %, respectively. The AAI values between species in this clade and the type species of Flavobacterium and Myroides were below the 65 % threshold, indicating that these species belong to a novel genus. On the basis of phylogenetic, physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics, strain SCSIO 72103T represents a new species of a novel genus, for which the name Paenimyroides aestuarii gen. nov. sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SCSIO 72103T (=KCTC 92043T=MCCC 1K06659T). It is also proposed that nine known species in the genera Flavobacterium and Myroides are reclassified as Paenimyroides species.

Abstract
The strain M-43T was isolated from the Oncorhynchus mykiss from a fish farm in Mugla, Turkey. Pairwise 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis was used to identify strain M-43T. The strain was a member of the genus Myroides sharing the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence identity levels of 98.7%, 98.3%, and 98.3% with the type strains of M. profundi D25T, M. odoratimimus subsp. odoratimimus CCUG 39352T and M. odoratimimus subsp. xuanwuensis DSM27251T, respectively. A polyphasic taxonomic approach including whole genome-based analyses was employed to confirm the taxonomic provenance of strain M-43T within the genus Myroides. The overall genome relatedness indices (OGRI) for strain M-43T compared with its most closely related type strains M. odoratimimus subsp. xuanwuensis DSM 27251T, M. profundi D25T, and M. odoratimimus subsp. odoratimimus ATCC BAA-634T, were calculated as 25.3%, 25.1%, and 25% for digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH), 83.3%, 83.6%, and 83.4% for average nucleotide identity (ANI) analyses, respectively. The OGRI values between strain M-43T and its close neighbors confirmed that the strain represents a novel species in the genus Myroides. The DNA G + C content of the strain is 33.7%. The major fatty acids are iso-C15:0 and summed feature 9 (iso-C17:1 ω9c and/or 10-methyl C16:0). The predominant polar lipids are phosphatidylethanolamine, an amino-lipid and five unidentified lipids. The major respiratory quinone is MK-6. Chemotaxonomic and phylogenomic analyses of this isolate confirmed that the strain represents a novel species for which the name Myroides oncorhynchi sp. nov. is proposed, with M-43T as the type strain (JCM 34205T = KCTC 82265T).

Abstract
The bacterial genus Myroides, like other members of the Flavobacteriaceae family, consists of aerobic, non-motile, Gram-negative bacilli. Myroides spp. is considered predominantly opportunistic pathogens as, historically, most documented infections have been in immunocompromised individuals. Along with advancements in molecular assay testing, there are growing reports of clinically relevant Myroides spp. infections in immunocompetent individuals. These organisms display broad antimicrobial resistance, and while research into their mechanisms of resistance is progressing, genetic testing has revealed metallo-β-lactamases present in their genome. The sporadic identification of Myroides spp. and ongoing clarification of resistance patterns make empiric treatment difficult. This report documents two cases of extensively drug-resistant Myroides odoratus isolated from critically ill but otherwise immunocompetent patients followed by a review of available literature on Myroides spp. antibiotic sensitivities. Our findings indicate that minocycline and moxifloxacin have the highest documented in vitro activity against Myroides spp.

Abstract
A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, short rod-shaped, pale yellow-pigmented, non-motile and gentamycin-resistant bacterial strain designated CJ210T was isolated from the Han River, Republic of Korea. Strain CJ210T grew optimally at 30 °C and pH 7.0 in the absence of NaCl on tryptic soy agar. Flexirubin-type pigments were not produced. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity showed that strain CJ210T belonged to the genus Myroides within the family Flavobacteriaceae and was most closely related to Myroides odoratus KACC 14347T (98.1 % similarity), followed by M. injenensis KCTC 23367T (95.3 % similarity). The average nucleotide identity values between strain CJ210T and two closely related type strains M. odoratus KACC 14347T and M. injenensis KCTC 23367T were 83.7 and 73.8 %, respectively. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization results between strain CJ210T and the related type strains were 27.5 and 20.2 %, respectively. Strain CJ210T contained menaquinone 6 (MK-6) as the predominant menaquinone. The predominant polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminolipids and two unidentified lipids. The major fatty acids of strain CJ210T were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and summed feature 9 (comprising iso-C17 : 1 ω9c and/or C16 : 0 10-methyl). Whole genome sequencing revealed that strain CJ210T had a genome of 3.8 Mbp with 36.5 % DNA G+C content. The genome contained several antimicrobial resistance genes including an aminoglycoside-resistant gene. On the basis of the polyphasic taxonomic study, strain CJ210T represents a novel species in the genus Myroides, for which name Myrodies fluvii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CJ210T (=KACC 19954T=JCM 33306T).

Abstract
Phosphate-solubilizing (PS) and phosphate-mineralizing (PM) bacteria are considered vital for augmenting the plant growth through phosphorus mobilization and plant growth-promoting attributes. In the present study, a rhizospheric bacterium was isolated from the virgin land of Punjab, India and identified as 'Myroides gitamensis' BSH-3 through 16S rRNA sequencing. 'M. gitamensis' showed potential halo zone on Pikovskaya agar. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that plant growth-promoting potential of 'M. gitamensis' has not been studied earlier. It was able to solubilize 17.53-106.66 µg/mL of tricalcium phosphate and demonstrated a promising potential of mineralizing sodium phytate corresponding to 44.6-94.70 µg/mL at 28 °C. Variable PS and PM activity was observed at temperature range of 15-42 °C with the maximum activity observed at 28 °C after 96 h of incubation. The nitrogen fixation ability, hydrogen sulfide production, cellulose hydrolysis test and chitin degradation was found to be negative. High indole acetic acid (42.82 µg/mL), gibberellic acid (72.93 µg/mL), ammonia (22.58 µg/mL) production, phytase activity (0.49 pi/mL/min) and comparable amount of siderophore (28.55%) and acid phosphate activity (0.606 µM p-nitrophenol/ml/min) was shown by 'M. gitamensis'. Inoculation of wheat with 'M. gitamensis' in pot experiment showed increased shoot and root length by 30.58% and 38.32%. Fresh weight and dry weight was increased by 45.74% and 67.81%, respectively, compared to uninoculated control. These results demonstrate that 'M. gitamensis' has promising PS, PM and plant growth-promoting attributes to be used as a bio-inoculant to enhance plant growth and soil fertility.

Abstract
A bacterial strain, BIT-d1T, was isolated from the gut of plastic-eating larvae of the coleopteran insect Zophobas atratus. Its taxonomic position was analysed using a polyphasic approach. Cells were white-pigmented, Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, long rods without flagella. The 16S rRNA gene sequence (1401 bp) of strain BIT-d1T showed highest similarity (98.0%) to
Myroides pelagicus
SM1T and 96.6~92.6 % similarity to the other species of the genus
Myroides
. The results of phylogenetic analyses, based on the 16S rRNA gene, concatenated sequences of six housekeeping genes (gyrB, dnaK, tuf, murG, atpA and glyA) and genome sequences, placed strain BIT-d1T in a separate lineage among the genus
Myroides
, family
Flavobacteriaceae
. The major isoprenoid quinone was menaquinone-6 (MK-6) and the major fatty acids were C15 : 0 iso, C17 : 0 iso 3-OH and summed feature 9 (comprising iso-C17 : 1
ω9c and/or C16 : 0 10-methyl), which were similar to other members in the genus Myroides. In silico DNA–DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity calculations plus physiological and biochemical tests exhibited the genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain BIT-d1T from the other members of the genus
Myroides
. Therefore, strain BIT-d1T is considered to represent a novel species within the genus
Myroides
, for which the name Myroides albus sp. nov is proposed. The type strain is BIT-d1T (=CGMCC 1.17043T=KCTC 72447T).

Abstract
Purpose Catheter-related infection (CRI) is one of the most frequent causes of hospitalizations for immunocompromised patients. A major challenge is the increased prevalence of Myroides odoratimimus. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the clinical features and molecular characteristics of M. odoratimimus collected from a general hospital in Shanghai, China. Patients and Methods From July 2015 to August 2016, a total of 22 isolates of M. odoratimimus were collected from inpatients respectively from the biliary and pancreatic surgery (6/22) and the urology department (16/22). Clonal relatedness among the isolates was assessed using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Moreover, the antimicrobial susceptibility tests were carried out using the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) broth microdilution method. The presence of antibiotic resistance genes was screened using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay. Additionally, protein structure prediction was analyzed using PSIPRED and RaptorX. Results PFGE differentiated these isolates into six possibly related clones from two different departments obtained during a distinct period, indicating clonal dissemination in the two departments. We compared the dendrograms of M. odoratimimus isolates obtained by MALDI-TOF MS with those obtained by PFGE and found that the coincidence rate between them was only 68.2%. All the M. odoratimimus isolates were highly resistant to most available antibiotics, including carbapenems. Furthermore, chromosome-encoded β-lactamases MUS-1 was confirmed by PCR in 6 of 22 Myroides odoratimimus isolates. Herein, we also reported a novel variant of blaMUS-1 in the remaining 16 isolates, which encodes MUS-3 protein at position 60 (Valine to Alanine), differing from the structure of MUS-1. Conclusion The opportunistic and extensively antibiotic-resistant Myroides odoratimimus has a small range of epidemics in these two different departments. Clinicians should be aware that M. odoratimimus may induce a severe nosocomial outbreak of catheter-related infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients.

Abstract
We report the first case of Myroides phaeus isolated from blood, causing bacteremia in an immunocompromised patient. The relevance of this species is that most strains are resistant to multiple drugs. For identification it was used MicroScan Panel in addition to PCR – genetic sequencing.
We report the first case of Myroides phaeus isolated from blood, causing bacteremia in an immunocompromised patient using the automated MicroScan Walk Away 96 system, followed by bacterial identification by amplification-sequencing of the 16S rDNA. The sequences obtained were compared with the reference sequence of the BLAST ® platform - National Library of Medicine, USA, and the isolation was identified as Myroides phaeus strain with 99.67 % identity in Blast report. In the literature we did not find previous reported cases of infections by this bacterium, however its pathogenic role is still controversial; therefore, this isolation alerts us to carry out an exhaustive surveillance of other possible acquisition routes.

Choudhary M, Choudhary BK, Bera BC, Chaudhari SP, Giri DK, Ghosh RC, Barbuddhe SB. Association of Myroides odoratimimus in immunocompromized piglets with post weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome. J Appl Microbiol 2019; 127:1635-1645. [PMID: 31517421 DOI: 10.1111/jam.14448] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2019] [Revised: 09/05/2019] [Accepted: 09/05/2019] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
AIM To study the association of opportunistic infection due to Myroides odoratimimus in piglets immunocompromised by porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) infection. METHODS AND RESULTS The clinical samples (n = 101) were analysed bacteriologically. The isolates were identified by their phenotypes and MALDI TOF-MS analysis as Myroides species. The phylogram constructed based on nucleotide sequences of the 16S rRNA gene showed identity (~99%) with the M. odoratimimus isolates. The minimum inhibitory concentration values for antibiotics revealed M. odoratimimus to be resistant against carbapenem, cephalosporins, aminoglycosides and fluoroquinolones. The presence of PCV2 in affected tissue samples was confirmed by amplification of the 565 bp region of ORF2 of the PCV2 genome. The topology of the phylogenetic tree grouped the PCV2 with cluster-2d. CONCLUSIONS PCV2 being immunosuppressive in nature might have impaired the immunity thereby increasing the susceptibility of immunocompromised piglets to opportunistic pathogens such as M. odoratimimus leading to disease severity and high mortality. The M. odoratimimus isolates were found to be multidrug resistant and evidenced for uncertain clinical relevance and hence could act as hidden source of public health hazard. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Myroides odoratimimus is a rarely reported human pathogen. We reported the incidence of infection due to seemingly rare isolates of M. odoratimimus causing an outbreak of pneumonia in piglets. This appears, to the best of authors' knowledge, to be the first outbreak due to Myroides recorded in animal clinical cases described in the literature.

Abstract
Myroides spp. are environmental bacterial organisms that rarely cause disease in humans. Myroides spp. infections are infrequently reported in the literature, and Myroides injenensis infections are quite uncommon. Myroides spp. usually infect immunocompromised hosts and can have highly resistant antibiotic susceptibility patterns. Here we report a case of Myroides injenensis bacteremia and severe cellulitis in a patient with cirrhosis and review the literature of other Myroides spp. infections.

Abstract
The genus Myroides comprises several species of Gram-negative, non-motile, and non-fermenting bacteria, which have been regarded as non-pathogenic for decades. Multiple recent reports, however, underscore the pathogenic potential that Myroides sp. possesses for humans. These bacteria seem to be resistant to a wide range of antibiotics (including ß-lactams and aminoglycosides). Therefore, treatment options are limited. Knowledge of antimicrobial resistance, however, is based on only one meaningful comprehensive study and on data published from case reports. This lack of data motivated us to test 59 strains from our Myroides collection (43 M. odoratimimus and 16 M. odoratus) for resistance against 20 commonly used antibiotics. We also performed molecular analyses to reveal whether our bacteria harbor the genus-specific M. odoratimimus metallo-ß-lactamase (MUS-1) or the M. odoratus metallo ß-lactamase (TUS-1), and other ß-lactamases, which may provide an explanation for the extended antimicrobial resistance.

Abstract
Technological advancements in fields such as molecular genetics and the human microbiome have resulted in an unprecedented recognition of new bacterial genus/species designations by the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology Knowledge of designations involving clinically significant bacterial species would benefit clinical microbiologists in the context of emerging pathogens, performance of accurate organism identification, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. In anticipation of subsequent taxonomic changes being compiled by the Journal of Clinical Microbiology on a biannual basis, this compendium summarizes novel species and taxonomic revisions specific to bacteria derived from human clinical specimens from the calendar years 2012 through 2015.

Abstract
A novel aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped, catalase- and oxidase-positive bacterial strain, designated UKS3T, was isolated from garden soil, and subjected to polyphasic taxonomic analysis. Strain UKS3T formed whitish, viscous colonies on nutrient agar and was Gram-staining negative. Phylogenetic analysis, based on 16S rRNA gene sequence, showed that maximum pairwise similarity occurs with representatives of the genus Myroides. The most closely related species include Myroides marinus JS-08T (92.7 % sequence similarity), Myroides phaeus MY15T (92.7 %), Myroides odoratus DSM 2801T (91.5 %) and Myroides odoratimimus CCUG 39352T (91.4 %). Strain UKS3T contained menaquinone-6 (MK-6) as the major respiratory quinone and iso-C15 : 0 (40.2 %), anteiso-C15 : 0 (9.4 %) and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (8.5 %) as major fatty acids. Phosphatidylethanolamine, phospholipids and three aminolipids were the major polar lipids. The DNA G+C content of strain UKS3T was 36.8 ± 2.0 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and molecular analysis, strain UKS3T represents a novel species of the genus Myroides, for which the name Myroides indicus sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain is UKS3T ( = DSM 28213T = NCIM 5555T ).

Abstract
The purpose of this announcement is to effect the valid publication of the following effectively published new names and new combinations under the procedure described in the Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision). Authors and other individuals wishing to have new names and/or combinations included in future lists should send three copies of the pertinent reprint or photocopies thereof, or an electronic copy of the published paper to the IJSEM Editorial Office for confirmation that all of the other requirements for valid publication have been met. It is also a requirement of IJSEM and the ICSP that authors of new species, new subspecies and new combinations provide evidence that types are deposited in two recognized culture collections in two different countries. It should be noted that the date of valid publication of these new names and combinations is the date of publication of this list, not the date of the original publication of the names and combinations. The authors of the new names and combinations are as given below. Inclusion of a name on these lists validates the publication of the name and thereby makes it available in the nomenclature of prokaryotes. The inclusion of a name on this list is not to be construed as taxonomic acceptance of the taxon to which the name is applied. Indeed, some of these names may, in time, be shown to be synonyms, or the organisms may be transferred to another genus, thus necessitating the creation of a new combination.
