Citrobacter freundii bacteremia: Risk factors of mortality and prevalence of resistance genes

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

For patients with C. freundii bacteremia, carrying the blaTEM-1 resistance gene was an independent risk factor for 28-day mortality. Carbapenems, fourth-generation cephalosporins, amikacin, and quinolones are still reliable agents for drug-resistant strains.
