Abstract
It was determined that three of the Citrobacter species with biochemical characteristics were atypical and showed oxidase-positive reactions. All the Citrobacter species were identified as Citrobacter sp. using the 16S rRNA gene; three isolates were identified as Citrobacter gillenii and four as Citrobacter sp. based on gyrB gene sequence analysis. Some isolates were found in the same group as other countries' isolates in the GenBank database, while isolates with high identities were found in different genogroups. All isolates were found to be phenotypically resistant to sulfamethoxazole and susceptible to tetracycline; these isolates' resistance genes included sulI, tetA, tetB, and tetD.
