What is citrobacter freundii complex?

Citrobacter freundii complex refers to 8 related species of bacteria from the Genus Citrobacter, including Citrobacter braaki, Citrobacter freundii, Citrobacter gillenii, Citrobacter murliniae, Citrobacter rodenticum, Citrobacter sedlakii and Citrobacter werkmenii. These species all have similar phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, and in most cases cannot be reliably identified using the standard phenotypic methods employed in the laboratory. Therefore the identification for any one of the above species is most accurately reported as "Citrobacter freundii complex" Please see the article entitled "What's in a Name? The Genus Citrobacter" in the related web link. The Genus Citrobacter are part of the family Enterobacteriaceae, which are gram negative enteric (found in the intestinal tract) organisms.
