About Skin and skin structure Citrobacter infection.

A skin and skin structure *Citrobacter* infection is a bacterial infectious condition of the epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous tissue, or deeper fascial planes caused by opportunistic, facultatively anaerobic Gram-negative bacilli of the genus *Citrobacter* (predominantly *Citrobacter freundii* or *Citrobacter koseri*).

Most frequently encountered in hospitalized, elderly, or immunocompromised individuals, as well as patients with surgical wounds, decubitus ulcers, or underlying diabetes mellitus, it often presents within polymicrobial wound infections.

Clinically, the infection manifests as cellulitis, cutaneous abscesses, infected ulcers, surgical site breakdowns, or rarely necrotizing fasciitis, accompanied by localized erythema, edema, warmth, purulent drainage, and systemic inflammatory signs.

Pathophysiologically, tissue damage is driven by bacterial endotoxins and inflammatory invasion, often complicated by intrinsic or inducible AmpC beta-lactamase–mediated antimicrobial resistance.
