Raoultella spp. - reliable identification, susceptibility to antimicrobials and antibiotic resistance mechanisms.

Conclusion. Although Raoultella spp. strains remain sensitive to antibiotics, there is a constant need to monitor the sensitivity of these bacteria to selected antimicrobials. Isolation of a multi-drug resistant R. ornithinolytica strain indicates that even the less frequently isolated species of Enterobacteriaceae family should be precisely identified because they might be of clinical importance and the particular strain can also produce enzymes that pose the greatest threat today.
