Citrobacter freundii is not famous for its illnesses, although it has been attributed as being involved with urinary tract and meningitis.
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.
most citrobacter cells are surrounded by many flagella used to move about but a few are non motile
the enterobacter spp when viewed under the microscope are gram negative rods,but their rods are longer than that of the citrobacter allthough it is also a gram negative organism
K. oxytoca will be indole-positive while K. pneumonia is indole-negative
Yes, Citrobacter freundii can metabolize lactose or citrate as a carbon source.
No
Citrobacter freundii is anaerobic. Citrobacter freundii is a bacteria that can be found in various places such as soil, food, water, and human intestinal tracts.
Indole test,Proteus vulgaris is be indole positive and Citrobacter freundii will be indole negative

Citrobacter freundii are the bacteria which give raffinose utilization test. Along with it Klebsiella pneumonia and E. coli are also taken into account for utilizing raffinose.
It is an organism with a capsule, which is a special structure morphology.
