  • Title: [Sero- and biovars of Levinea malonatica (syn. Citrobacter diversus, Citrobacter koseri) in clinical material (author's transl)].
    Author: Aleksić S, Sechter I, Katz A.
    Journal: Zentralbl Bakteriol A; 1981 Aug; 249(3):373-81. PubMed ID: 7269856.
    Abstract:
    The biochemical and serological examination of 31 strains of Levinea malonatica isolated from faeces, urine, sputum, wound infections and blood showed no correlation of bio- or serovars with the origin of the strains. Serological cross-reactions between O-antigens of L. malonatica and certain Salmonella, Shigella and Yersinia enterocolitica serovars were analysed. They are low-titred and seem to be of minor importance. Sensitivity testing revealed the resistance of L. malonatica against penicillin, ampicillin and carbenicillin.
