Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

Yes you can surely come out of infection, there is no point of worry in it.

Citrobacter koserii is the bacteria of enterobactericiae group which has treatment with the same antibiotics as do E.coli have.

With the culture report you must have sensitivity report also.

Taking treatment according to sensitivity report can cure you earlier and rapidly.

Please take treatment under doctors guidance, take complete treatment and maintain utmost hygiene .
