Popis: Citrobacter diversus is a gram-negative rod member of the Enterobacteriaceae family. A patient is described from whom this organism was isolated twice in pore culture from empyema fluid. Our isolates of Citrobacter diversus were resistant to ampicillin and carbenicillin and sensitive to cephalotbin. Citrobacter diversus should be distinguished from Citrobacter freundii, Enterobacter cloacae and Klebsiella pneumoniae. This organism joins Streptococcus pyogenes, bacteroides species, anaerobic streptococci and Escherichia coli as a cause of slight pneumonia with extensive empyema.
