qnrB is the most common of the five qnr families and has the greatest number of allelic variants. Almost two-thirds of the qnrB alleles have been reported in Citrobacter spp., and several were shown to be located on the chromosome. In this study, PCR was used to investigate the prevalence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes in 71 clinical isolates belonging to the Citrobacter freundi...

background and objectives: citrobacter freundii is an opportunistic pathogen causing nosocomial infections and resistant to various antibiotics. we aimed to determine the clonal relationship of c. freundii isolates using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (pfge). materials and methods: fifty clinical isolates of c. freundii were collected from the main hospital in kermanshah. after antibiotic sus...

the potential of citrobacter freundii, a gram negative bacteria for the remediation of hexavalentchromium (cr(vi)) and trivalent chromium (cr(iii)) from aqueous solutions was investigated. bioremediationof cr(vi) involved both biosorption and bioreduction processes, as compared to only biosorption processobserved with respect to cr(iii) bioremediation. in the case of cr(vi) bioremediation studi...

Citrobacter infections are often nosocomially acquired, seen in patients with significant underlying diseasesand isolates commonly drug-resistant.A rare clinical syndrome of haemoptysis underlyingpneumonia caused by Citrobactor freundii a immunocompetent young male is presented.

Recent work describing six named species and two unnamed genomospecies within Citrobacter has enlarged the genus to 11 species. DNA relatedness and phenotypic tests were used to determine how well these species can be identified. One hundred thirty-six strains were identified to species level by DNA relatedness and then identified phenotypically in a blinded fashion. By using conventional tests...

Citrobacter, a member of the family Enterobacteriaceae, is usually present as intestinal commensal of man and animals. It is well known now that it has been associated with various nosocomial and community acquired infections in humans. This study was conducted in Department of Microbiology, J. N. Medical College and Hospital, Aligarh for a period of one and half years. Isolates were identified...

The small scale industries located at Mira Road, Mumbai, are engaged in various processes/operations which generate the wastes. The waste generated are collected and disposed of at the dumping ground near the industrial estate. In the present study, the physico-chemical and microbial status of the contaminated sites has been carried out. The heavy metal with special reference to copper was expo...

The microbiome of the uterus cows with acute postpartum purulent-catarrhal endometritis is represented by Streptococcus faecium, Citrobacter freundii, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, pyogenes, Proteus vulgaris. Conditionally pathogenic microflora was predominant. Of all tested praparations (Geomytsin, Enroflon, Mitrek), highest zone growth inhibition to most isolated isolates noted in ...
