Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Citrobacter infection is usually treated with antibiotics such as fluoroquinolones, carbapenems and cephalosporins. Treatment is dependent on the susceptibility of the organism to antibiotics and the site of the infection.
Since citrobacter shows resistance to many antibiotics it is best to choose an antibiotic based on culture and sensitivity report of your stool sample.
Usually treatment is started with cephalosporins and carbapenems.
Antibiotics like cefepime may be started after consulting your physician.

I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.

Hello,

Thanks for writing again.

Citrobacter infection of the gut is not associated with skin problems like itching, pricklings or rashes. This is more likely to be related to an allergic reaction.

Allergy to various foods can cause such skin related symptoms and oral antiallergics like cetrizine or fexofenadine helps in controlling the symptoms.

Skin allergy tests will help detecting the causative food stuffs.

Desensitization, anti histamines and oral steroids help in controlling the symptoms.

Hope my answer is helpful. If I have addressed all your concerns, please close this discussion.

Wish you good health.

Regards
