Hi Citrobacter koserie is a species of bacteria of the citrobacter group of bacteria. C. koserie and other enterobacter are commmonly found in water, soil, food and intestines of humans and other anaimals.Citrobacter infection generally affects mostly the aged and immunocompromised.It may be responsible for infections like UTI, respiratory infections, wound infection....The treatment however, depends on its antibiotic sensitivity test since these group of bacteria have shown growing resistance to most antibiotics.Her Doctor will take care of her antibiotherapy.Results are however good on antibiotic sensitivity test based prescriptions. Hope my answer will help you Best regards
