What Causes Citrobacter Koseri Infection In Urine After Excision Of Prostrate?

I have recurrent Criptobacter koseri infection in my urine, following excision of my prostate two years ago for

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. Prior to the operation I had an in-dwelling catheter for several weeks.

Is this infection to be expected ?

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Infection by C.koseri is usually seen immumo-compromised conditions.
2. Normally no seen after prostate surgeries.
3. It is a commensal in gut and regular hand washing of all family members will prevent reinfection.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
