Presentation
Gram-negative organisms are present in less than 10% of cases of endocarditis in intravenous drug users. We present a case of tricuspid valve endocarditis in an intravenous drug user caused by Citrobacter diversus alone. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pharyngitis
Citrobacter freundii is a rare but potentially aggressive cause of pharyngitis which may progress to retropharyngeal abscess with diaphragmatic extension. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Right Upper Quadrant Pain
Clinical presentation is elusive with complaints of fever, right upper quadrant pain in the abdomen and hepatomegaly with or without jaundice. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Intestinal Disease
BACKGROUND: Citrobacter strains are opportunistic pathogens often responsible for serious enteric as well as extra-intestinal diseases, and therefore the O-antigenic scheme, still in use in diagnostic identification, should be set for proper serotyping [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Communicating Hydrocephalus
We studied a three-month-old infant with Citrobacter meningitis, who developed acute communicating hydrocephalus and multiple periventricular brain abscesses while on treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Vaginal Discharge
The gastrointestinal tract was considered the portal of entry, because the patient had a rectal fistula and other cultures such as urine and vaginal discharge incubated species other than C. braakii. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
SG was involved in the complete workup of the case. AKG managed the patient through the period. DR was involved in the diagnosis of the patient. Competing interests: None. Patient consent: Obtained. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Hepatocellular Carcinoma
The product exhibited significant acid/alkali and UV resistance as well as significant inhibition of hepatocellular carcinoma cell proliferation at low concentrations of 0.1-1 μM. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
The patient died, despite intensive antibiotic treatment directed towards the causative organism, C. diversus. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In details, the treatment groups in sealed pack were handed over to Mr. Trivedi for biofield treatment under laboratory conditions. Mr. [trivediscience.com]
Prognosis
Suspicion of a fungal infection combined with bacterial peritonitis will improve the prognosis of patients on peritoneal dialysis. Keywords: Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis; Citrobacter; Peritonitis [ekjm.org]
In the literature, the neurosurgical approach is associated with a better prognosis, especially when obstruction is present. 5 Cerebritis and infarctation have no surgical indication. 5 In this case, successful surgery was not feasible due to the high [casereports.bmj.com]

Etiology
[…] elderly, debilitated, and immunocompromised. 1-5 Current interest in pediatric Citrobacter infections has stemmed from the isolation of C diversus from neonates with meningitis and brain abscesses. 6-13 To our knowledge, there have been no reports of the etiologic [jamanetwork.com]
These characteristic features pointed to Citrobacter as the etiological agent. The species identification of C. diversus was made on the basis of indole and adonitol positivity, hydrogen sulphide negativity and utilization of malonate. [scielo.br]
The role of Citrobacter species in the etiology of PD-related peritonitis is often underestimated. [medsci.org]
Epidemiology
The epidemiology and clinical characteristics of C. braakii infection are still unknown because of the limitations in accurate identification by using currently available commercial biochemical testing and previously, only 6 cases of C. braakii infection [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
