Antigenic scheme of Citrobacter koseri.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An antigenic scheme, based on the determination of 17 somatic and 9 flagellar antigens, is proposed for Citrobacter koseri. Seven of the flagellar antigens constituted the specific phase (a through g), and the others (1 and 2) were nonspecific. Of the 238 theoretically possible serotypes, 48 were identified among 680 cultures examined.

The Frequency of Carbapenemase Genes in Citrobacter Frundii and Citrobacter Koseri Isolated from Clinical Specimens in Imam Reza Hospital, Kermanshah, Iran
Background & Aims: The inappropriate use of antibiotics has led to antibiotic resistance in microorganisms of Enterobacteriaceae family, especially in carbapenems. The aim of this study was to identify the carbapenemase producing Citrobacter frundii and Citrobacter koseri isolated from clinical specimens. Methods: One hundred Citrobacter isolates from various patient samples i...
متن کاملSensitivity of Citrobacter freundii and Citrobacter koseri to cephalosporins and penicillins.
An examination of 99 field and reference strains of Citrobacter freundii showed 79% of them to be resistant to cephaloridine and sensitive to carbenicillin, while 96% of 45 field and reference strains of Citrobacter koseri examined were sensitive to cephaloridine and resistant to carbenicillin. Susceptibility tests with these two antibiotics are therefore useful in separating the two species of...

We report here the draft genome sequences of four blaKPC-containing bacteria identified as Klebsiella aerogenes, Citrobacter freundii, and Citrobacter koseri Additionally, we report the draft genome sequence of a K. aerogenes strain that did not contain a blaKPC gene but was isolated from the patient who had the blaKPC-2-containing K. aerogenes strain.
متن کاملCitrobacter koseri and Citrobacter amalonaticus isolates carry highly divergent beta-lactamase genes despite having high levels of biochemical similarity and 16S rRNA sequence homology.
OBJECTIVES Isolates previously identified as Citrobacter diversus are now known as Citrobacter koseri. We measured sequence variation at the beta-lactamase structural gene among a group of clinical isolates originally identified as C. diversus by API 20E profiling. METHODS beta-Lactamase and 16S rRNA genes were amplified by PCR and sequenced by standard methods. beta-Lactamase induction was a...
متن کاملBrain abscess caused by Citrobacter koseri infection in an adult
Citrobacter koseri is a gram-negative bacillus that causes mostly meningitis and brain abscesses in neonates and infants. However, brain abscess caused by Citrobacter koseri infection in an adult is extremely rare, and only 2 cases have been described. Here, we reported a 73-year-old male presenting with a 3-week headache. A history of diabetes mellitus was noted. The images revealed a brain ab...
