HiT hanks for posting on ChatDoctorCitrobacter is a distinct group of bacteria from the Enterobacteriaceae family widely distributed in water, soil, and intestinal tracts of animals and humans. There exist many species of Enterobacter. Two groups of people are at risk of developing Enterobacter infection : neonates and debilitated like aged people(>65 years) and immunocompromised like the case of your baby. Infections that could be of Enterobacter origin include: UTI, respiratory infection, wounds, bone, peritoneum, meningitis... Different species of Enterobacter have shown varied degrees of antibiotics resistance. However, treatment of the infection is easy after a culture and sensitivity test. I will advise you stay calm, and let the Doctor do the rest. Identifying the infection is already a step to treating it. The treatment will depend on the antibiotic the germ is sensitive to. Hope my answer will help nourish your baby a speedy recovery
