Isolates of a recently recognized species of Enterobacteriaceae, Citrobacter diversus, were studied in terms of their biochemical characteristics and their role in human infections. Members of this species do not produce hydrogen sulfide, but they do produce indole and ornithine decarboxylase and ferment adonitol, which differentiates them from similar enteric organisms. They were associated with significant clinical disease causing both primary and secondary infections.
