1. Normal Gut Microbiota: Citrobacter species are found in the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals. In healthy individuals, these bacteria are part of the normal gut microbiota, contributing to the complex community of microorganisms that inhabit the digestive system.

2. Opportunistic Infections: Under certain circumstances, Citrobacter species can become opportunistic pathogens. This means they have the potential to cause infections, particularly in individuals with compromised immune systems, such as those with severe illnesses, immunosuppressive conditions, or recent surgery.

3. Infections in Humans: Citrobacter species have been associated with various infections in humans, including urinary tract infections (UTIs), respiratory tract infections, bloodstream infections (bacteremia), and infections in wounds or surgical sites.

4. Antibiotic Resistance: Some Citrobacter strains may exhibit antibiotic resistance, which can complicate the treatment of infections. It's important for healthcare providers to determine the antibiotic susceptibility of the specific strain causing an infection to guide appropriate treatment.

5. Nosocomial Infections: Citrobacter infections can be associated with healthcare settings, and some cases are classified as nosocomial or hospital-acquired infections. Proper hygiene practices and infection control measures are crucial for preventing the spread of these bacteria in healthcare facilities.

Legend

• The interactions are based on data from 1000 healthy individuals using shotgun 10M reads Precision Biome, a provider in full conformity to EU regulations for health information
• The width of the lines indicates R² (the coefficient of determination)
• Green indicates positive slope
• Red indicates negative
• Interactions are not two way because incidence of each bacteria are different
