title: Citrobacter koseri. II. Serological and biochemical examination of Citrobacter koseri strains from clinical specimens.
abstract: 165 strains of Citrobacter koseri isolated from clinical specimens were studied and their biochemical reactions determined. They were examined serologically by means of a scheme consisting of 14 O antigens. The sources of the clinical specimens were tabulated and the epidemiological information was summarized. The clinical significance of these findings is discussed.
