title: [Bacteremic pneumonia caused by Citrobacter diversus: report of a case].
abstract: A 61 year old male with a localized gastric cancer developed a post-operative pneumonia by C. diversus which was isolated from blood and from bronchoalveolar lavage. A satisfactory response was observed after treatment with penicillin and amikacin. A brief review of the literature concerning the clinical relevance of infections by this unusual agent is offered.
