An antigenic scheme, based on the determination of 17 somatic and 9 flagellar antigens, is proposed for Citrobacter koseri. Seven of the flagellar antigens constituted the specific phase (a through g), and the others (1 and 2) were nonspecific. Of the 238 theoretically possible serotypes, 48 were identified among 680 cultures examined.
