	Proteus vulgaris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Proteus vulgaris is a rod-shaped Gram negative bacterium (a chemoheterotroph) that inhabits the intestinal tracts of animals and can be pathogenic.
		The term Proteus signifies changeability of form, as personified in the Homeric poems in Proteus, "the old man of the sea," who tends the sealflocks of Poseidon and has the gift of endless transformation.
		The first use of the term “Proteus” in bacteriological nomenclature was made by Hauser (1885) who described under this term three types of organisms which he isolated from putrefied meat.

		The bacterium, Klebsiella, which was isolated from the windowsill of the microbiology lab, was a gram-negative rod.
		The purpose of this lab was to isolate and identify the genus of a bacterium from the environment, in this case, a windowsill.
		Additionally, the bacterium identified should be one which is possibly found in a free-living environment or one that can be found in soil and water samples since the windowsills belong to a biological laboratory.

	eMedicine - Proteus Infections : Article Excerpt by: Gus Gonzalez, MD
		Proteus organisms are implicated as serious causes of infections in humans, along with Escherichia, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, and Serratia species.
		Proteus species are most commonly found in the human intestinal tract as part of normal human intestinal flora, along with Escherichia coli and Klebsiella species, of which E coli is the predominant resident.
		Proteus vulgaris and Proteus penneri are easily isolated from individuals in long-term care facilities and hospitals and from patients with underlying diseases or compromised immune systems.

		Swarming gives rise to a very thin film of bacteria on the agar surface, but swarming periods are interspersed with periods when the cells stop and undergo a cycle of growth and division so that the colony has a distinct zonation, clearly seen in Fig.
		The bacterium to be tested is suspended in sterile saline and added to each well, then the strip is incubated for 16-24 hours and the colour reactions are noted as either positive or negative.

		vulgaris is an enteric bacterium, which means it is found in the intestinal tract (8); it is also found in the soil, contaminated water, or decomposing organic substances (20).
		While it is a pathogenic bacterium and has been shown to cause urinary tract infections, it is also part of the natural flora of the intestinal tract (10); and because the microbe can live on the skin of some people, P. vulgaris is a common pathogen in hospital wound infections, especially in the immunosuppressed.
