The myroides bacteria species are multidrug-resistant gram-negative aerobic bacilli. The genus myroides comprises two species, i.e., M. odoratimimus and M. odoratus, and is usually associated with infections in immunocompromised patients; though infections in immunocompetent individuals have also been reported. They are a rare cause of infection worldwide. So far, only 53 cases have been reported in the literature. Here, we report a case of recurrent urinary tract infection by myroides species. This is the first documented case in Saudi Arabia to the best of our knowledge. Key Words: Myroides, Recurrent UTI, Renal transplant recipient, Immunosuppression.
海洋弯曲杆菌属细菌是一种多重耐药革兰氏阴性需氧杆菌。海洋弯曲杆菌属包括两种细菌，即恶臭假单胞菌和恶臭假单胞菌，通常与免疫功能低下患者的感染有关；尽管也有报道称免疫功能正常的个体也会感染。它们是一种罕见的全球感染原因。到目前为止，文献中仅报道了 53 例。在这里，我们报告了一例海洋弯曲杆菌属引起的复发性尿路感染。据我们所知，这是在沙特阿拉伯首例有记录的病例。关键词：海洋弯曲杆菌属；复发性尿路感染；肾移植受者；免疫抑制。
