Is Citrobacter Diversus Contagious?
Hi, I was recently diagnosed (via nasal swab) with Citrobacter diversus. I just finished a 7 day treatment of ciprofloxacin 500mg 2/day. Is this type of infection contageous as in person to person and is it OK for me to be around people as in public etc?
Thank You

Oh dear Relax!
As there is nothing to worry. Citrobacter diversus infection is not contageous. It can only cause problem in immunocompromized individuals(HIV, Renal transplant, etc), After successful treatment as you have taken there is no threat. Take care.
