Citrobacter
is not considered to be an enteric pathogen because it is normal gut flora. When
plated, Citrobacter colonies bare a strong resemblance to E. coli
colonies. This group of bacteria is of small clinical interest. C. freundii
is suspected to cause diarrhea and possibly extraintestinal infections. C.
diversus has been linked to a few cases of meningitis in newborns. When sprout
producers get a false positive on their tests for E. coli O157:H7 it can often
be attributed to Citrobacter. |
