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]
Results: In the present study, 1788 pus samples were processed for a period of 1 year, out of which in 808 pus samples, organisms were isolated. Staphylococcus aureus was isolated in 234 (28.96%) cases. [pesquisa.bvsalud.org]
The present case illustrates that osteomyelitis with an opportunistic organism can present concomitantly with acute gouty arthritis, and the diagnosis of one should not exclude the other. infections musculoskeletal and joint disorders diabetes pain Statistics [casereports.bmj.com]
Entire Body System
- Sepsis
When they are pathogenic, there are usually one or more associated respiratory, urinary, skin-soft tissue, and central nervous system infections and neonatal sepsis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract Fourteen neonates were diagnosed to have Citrobacter sepsis during 1986-89, representing 4.6% of all cases with bacteriologically proven sepsis. [link.springer.com]

- Fever
'Enteric fever' is a potentially fatal, severe systemic disease, which is encountered worldwide. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The Vi capsule of S. typhi, the causative agent of typhoid fever, is a surface-bound carbohydrate polymer to which antibodies have been shown to protect against typhoid fever. [fda.gov]
- Weakness
Neurological exam elicited slight weakness in the right lower extremity. The exam was otherwise normal. [ajicjournal.org]
The chief cause is a weak and attenuated immune system and functioning of the body. A frail immune system makes the body more vulnerable and predisposed to C. freundii, thus triggering UTI or intestinal infection or meningitis. [urologyannals.com]
Oxazolidinones are weak, Florey and Chain began testing it on humans, so the contents spill out and the cell dies. [xiawh.womevitpi.be]
The FMU108327/B1 isolate decarboxylated lysine poorly resulting in a weak positive reaction. [journals.plos.org]
Respiratoric
- Pneumonia
The PFGE analysis demonstrated three unrelated pulsotypes in K. pneumoniae strains and five pulsotypes in E. cloacae. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Six isolates were selected for more detailed characterization; four of them were identified as Citrobacter freundii, one as Klebsiella oxytoca and one as K. pneumoniae. [kops.uni-konstanz.de]
None of these cases were associated with lung abscess, pneumonia, or empyema. This is the first described case in the literature of community-acquired pneumonia and empyema caused by Citrobacter koseri in an immunocompetent adult patient. [hindawi.com]
Psychiatrical
- Suggestibility
Since a rare pathogen was detected in the present case and the results of additional biochemical studies were suggestive of both C. braakii and Citrobacter farmeri, genetic analysis was conducted. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
- Meningism
Also in contrast to other meningitis-causing bacteria, C. freundii is able to replicate within HBMEC. This is the first demonstration of a meningitis-causing bacterium capable of intracellular replication within BMEC. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Citrobacter koseri (formerly Citrobacter diversus) is the most common (>90%) species, followed by Citrobacter freundii, accounting for about 6.4% of Citrobacter meningitis., Unlike other Gram-negative bacterial meningitis, Citrobacter meningitis is often [pediatr-neonatol.com]
Species include C. amalona´ticus and C. freun´dii, two opportunistic pathogens; and C. diver´�sus, an occasional cause of neonatal meningitis. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
- Irritability
Irritation of the skin of the glans can lead to inflammation. [medicalnewstoday.com]
Admitted in a pediatric clinic at the age of 46 days, with a one day history of poor feeding, nausea, irritability, lethargy and fever (37.7 o C), and signs of respiratory distress, raised anterior fontanel and enlarged HC (42.3 cm). [scielo.br]

If you do feel any discomfort during the procedure which would likely only for slightly irritation to the skin you might be given a Tylenol or Motrin. Contact your health-care provider immediately if you suspect that you have a medical problem. [xiawh.womevitpi.be]
- Asthenia
Case Presentation A 72-year-old Spanish male was admitted to our hospital, 6 months ago, after two weeks of marked general syndrome (asthenia, hyporexia, and 3 Kg weight loss), accompanied with cough and mucopurulent sputum, moderate dyspnea, fever, night [hindawi.com]
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]
A sepsis workup was done during the second week of life, and the patient was treated with 48 hours of antibiotics. Blood culture was again negative, and CSF analysis was normal. [pediatr-neonatol.com]
Microbiology
- Citrobacter Koseri
Citrobacter koseri, formerly known as Citrobacter diversus, is best known as the cause of sepsis and meningitis leading to central nervous system (CNS) abscesses in neonates and young infants. [uniprot.org]
The literature on Citrobacter abscess in adults is scant [12]. We performed a PubMed search with the terms “Citrobacter koseri”, “Citrobacter koseri pneumonia”, and “Citrobacter koseri empyema”. [hindawi.com]

Treatment
The patient died, despite intensive antibiotic treatment directed towards the causative organism, C. diversus. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
For treatment of C. koseri infections, more active agents are available than for treatment of C. freundii infections. [antimicrobe.org]
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. Key Words: Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis; Citrobacter; Peritonitis 주제어: 지속적 외래 복막투석; Citrobacter; 복막염 [ekjm.org]
If the response to the antibiotic is poor, the surgical aspiration of the collected pus reduces the mass effect and enhances the efficacy of the antibiotics.[4][6][7] Prognosis[edit] The prognosis of the C. koseri infection is 20 to 30% of neonates die [en.wikipedia.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

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]
