Antibiotic Sensitivity Pattern of Citrobacter Spp. Isolated from Patients with Urinary Tract Infections in Tertiary Care Hospital in South India

چکیده
Urinary tract infection (UTI) continues to be the commonest nosocomial infection according for approximately 40% of all hospital acquired infections and it is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality [1, 2]. UTIs caused by Citrobacter species have been described in 5 to 12% of bacterial urine isolates in adults [3]. The genus Citrobacter is a distinct group of aerobic Gram-negative bacilli from the Enterobacteriaceae family [4]. Citrobacter species are primary inhabitants of intestinal tract, often found in human feces [5]. They are also found in soil, sewage, food, and animal feces [6, 7].
