Citrobacter freundii is a species of facultative anaerobic Gram-negative bacteria of the family Enterobacteriaceae which currently consists of 13 recognized species. These bacteria have a rod shape with a typical length of 1–5 μm. Most C. freundii cells have several flagella used for locomotion, although some non-motile taxa do not.
The species C. amalonaticus, C. koseri, and C. freundii can use citrate as a sole carbon source. Citrobacter species are differentiated by their ability to convert tryptophan to indole (C. koseri is the only citrobacter to be commonly indole-positive), ferment lactose (C. koseri is a lactose fermentor), and use malonate.
Species within the Enterobacterales order are the most common cause of Gram-negative bacteremia, including the species Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Serratia marcescens, Citrobacter freundii (PMID12913767) and Enterobacter hormaechei (PMID15306996). Early treatment with antibiotics is critical to reduce mortality, but antibiotic ...
Citrobacter koseri, formerly known as Citrobacter diversus, is a Gram-negative non-spore forming, rod-shaped bacterium. It is a facultative anaerobe capable of aerobic respiration. It is motile via peritrichous flagella. [2] It is a member of the family of Enterobacteriaceae.
This is a shortened version of the first chapter of the ICD-9: Infectious and Parasitic Diseases.It covers ICD codes 001 to 139.The full chapter can be found on pages 49 to 99 of Volume 1, which contains all (sub)categories of the ICD-9.
Typical genera include: [3] Citrobacter are peritrichous facultative anaerobic bacilli between 0.6–6 μm in length. [4] Citrobacter species inhabit intestinal flora without causing harm, but can lead to urinary tract infections, bacteremia, brain abscesses, pneumonia, intra abdominal sepsis, meningitis, and joint infections if they are given the opportunity.

Citrobacter and Enterococci have also been found to cause emphysematous cystitis. [1] Although it is a rare type of bladder infection, it is the most common type of all gas-forming bladder infections. [2] The condition is characterized by the formation of air bubbles in and around the bladder wall.
