Description
Rong Ding, Guiping Xia, and Huacheng Tong analyze a resistant bacterium from a patient's blood in a 2026 study. The organism, Myroides odoratimimus, came from an older patient with severe bloodstream infection and septic shock. Lab tests suggested it made a metallo-beta-lactamase, an enzyme that destroys many antibiotics, including last-resort ones.
Two carbapenem inactivation tests confirmed enzyme production. Whole-genome sequencing found the gene blaMOC-1, and a targeted check confirmed its sequence. The isolate resisted a broad range of drugs and stayed sensitive to only four, including minocycline and levofloxacin. The patient did not respond to first-guess therapy and developed multiple organ injury. The report offers a reference for similar critical care cases.
