We investigated the clinical relevance of Dermabacter hominis isolated from samples of 108 patients. Polymicrobial growth was evident in 88% of specimens. Isolation of D. hominis was of definitive or possible significance in only 14% of patients. Vancomycin remains the drug of choice given a penicillin resistance rate of 84%.

Myiasis represents a group of neglected tropical diseases caused by the infestation of vertebrate tissues by dipterous larvae. We herein report an imported case of foruncular myasis caused by Dermatobia hominis in Mexico City. The species was confirmed by DNA sequencing and phylogenetic reconstruction analysis.
