In 2021, we identified a cluster of Elizabethkingia miricola cases in an intensive care unit in Spain. Because E. miricola is not considered a special surveillance agent in Spain, whole-genome sequencing was not performed. The bacterial source was not identified. All Elizabethkingia species should be listed as special surveillance bacteria.
