Hello,

The citrobacter is gram-positive bacterial organism responsible for various types of infections, the prime one being intestines.

As per the susceptibility criteria, there are susceptibility zones in the agar plate or various specific antibiotic media and the perfection of results are 100 %.

So far as microbes killing are concerned, you can not see it with naked eyes.

So continue the prescribed medications and be in regular follow up with your consultant.
