Citrobacter freundii

This assay is only available as part of a panel and cannot be ordered individually.

Citrobacter freundii is an aerobic gram-negative bacterium, found in the environment (soil, water, sewage), food, and the intestinal tracts of animals and humans. Debilitated, aged (≥ 65years) or immunocompromised patients are most at risk for skin and soft tissues infection, including surgical site infections. C. freundii is resistant to many antimicrobial agents, including ampicillin and carbenicillin.
