Does Presence Of Citrobacter Koserei Need Immediate Medical Attention?

My recent lab test showed I have citrobacter koserei. I won't see my doctor until the l5th and now I am concerned as I read about it. Is it serious, should I see another Doctor immediately, and what causes this?? I am now 75 years old, and am in good health otherwise.
