		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.

	Proteus mirabilis* (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Proteus is second only to E. coli as a cause of non-hospital acquired urinary tract infections.
		Proteus is a member of the family Enterobacteriaceae.
		A single colony to be identified is suspended in 5 ml of saline, and this is used to both rehydrate and innoculate the media.

	Proteus mirabilis will give up its genetic secrets at ASM meeting
		Mobley is an expert on urease, an enzyme produced by P. mirabilis, which breaks down urea in the urinary tract, reduces the acidity of urine and leads to the formation of kidney or bladder stones.
		In future research, Pearson will use gene microarrays to identify the Proteus mirabilis genes that are turned on, or expressed, during the infection stage.
		The sequenced strain was P. mirabilis HI4320, a strain commonly used in laboratory research, which was cultured in the Mobley laboratory from the urine of a nursing home patient with a long-term indwelling catheter.

		Proteus vulgaris growth in MacConkey agar culture plate
		Proteus is a genus of Gram-negative Proteobacteria, which includes pathogens responsible for many human urinary tract infections.
		Proteus species do not ferment lactose, are oxidase negative, and urease positive; some species are motile.

		Proteus species are also involved in synergistic nonclostridial anaerobic myonecrosis, which may involve subcutaneous tissue, fascia, and muscle.
		Proteus organisms are easily recovered through routine laboratory cultures.
		P mirabilis is likely to be sensitive to ampicillin; broad-spectrum penicillins (eg, ticarcillin, piperacillin); first-, second-, and third-generation cephalosporins; imipenem; and aztreonam.

		The ability of Proteus organisms to produce urease and to alkalinize the urine by hydrolyzing urea to ammonia makes it effective in producing an environment in which it can survive.
