“…Many of these residues can be altered in a non-destructive manner without affecting or eliminating the phenotypic function. This species' significance stems from its link to major nosocomial infections and a high level of resistance to popular antimicrobial drugs used to treat a variety of illnesses (Nayar et al, 2014). Antimicrobial resistance develops as a result of chromosomal -lactamase enzyme overproduction (Mahmood and Atyah, 2021).…”

Because of the medicinal and economic importance of Citrobacter freundii, as well as the fact that there are only a few local studies on it, the purpose of this study was to isolate and identify this important bacterial species from chicken using differential media with comparable biochemical properties. There is a severe concern about the presence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) creating bacteria in animal husbandry, which could be transmitted to humans. C. freundii was detected through the use of specific associated genes that enable this bacterium to resist the effects of antibiotics, making it highly resistant. For detection of this bacteria and recognition of distinct types of resistance genes, polymerase chain reaction was used. Further confirmation, purified PCR product was subjected to sequencing. It showed 99.80% homology with Switzerland isolates available in the NCBI database. Forty two isolates of C. freundii were isolated from (450) fecal sample collected from different region of AL- Diwaniyah province.

The genus Citrobacter commonly found in water and soil as well as the intestinal and urinary tracts of animals and humans. Although Citrobacter infections are infrequently diagnosed in environmental contexts, the rising incidence of nosocomial manifestations underscores the importance of considering this organism in the differential diagnosis of hospital-acquired infections. We present a case of patient with septic arthritis of the shoulder who had been originally admitted for the management of acute-on-chronic congestive heart failure exacerbation and severe sepsis. On hospital day 1, joint aspiration cultures and Gram stain confirmed the presence of Citrobacter koseri, a pathogen not commonly associated with septic arthritis, and ceftriaxone was administered to target it. On hospital day 7, antibiotic was transitioned to levofloxacin, every other day for 4 weeks. The patient was discharged to an acute rehabilitation facility after a 14-day hospital stay. This case stresses the importance of maintaining a broad differential diagnosis for any patients who present with fever and joint inflammation or swelling, especially in a postoperative setting.
