In vitro resistance pattern of Citrobacter infections: A retrospective study

open access: yesJournal of Associated Medical Sciences, 2023
Background: Citrobacter infections are associated with a high mortality rate of about 33-48% if infected patients develop bacteremia. This is partly due to high prevalence of intrinsic resistance, extended spectrum beta lactamases and inducible ...
