P. mirabilis is generally susceptible to most antibiotics apart from tetracycline and nitrofurantoin, [4] but 10–20% of P. mirabilis strains are also resistant to first-generation cephalosporins and ampicillin. [5] Proteus mirabilis in trypticase soy agar growth media
In 2013, Gibbs and her colleagues at Harvard were the first to sequence the complete genome of Proteus mirabilis strain BB2000, which is the model system for biological dissection of self-recognition. [18] Gibbs and her colleagues then began to explore the biological mechanisms of self-recognition in P. mirabilis. [19]
Three species—P. vulgaris, P. mirabilis, and P. penneri—are opportunistic human pathogens. Proteus includes pathogens responsible for many human urinary tract infections. [3] P. mirabilis causes wound and urinary tract infections. Most strains of P. mirabilis are sensitive to ampicillin and cephalosporins.
The Proteus penneri group of bacteria was named in 1982. It reclassified a group of strains formerly known as Proteus vulgaris biogroup 1. [6] In 1978, Brenner et al. showed through DNA hybridization studies that P. vulgaris was a heterogenous species. [7]
Weil-Felix test is based on cross-reactions which occur between antibodies produced in acute rickettsial infections with antigens of OX (OX 19, OX 2, and OXK) strains of Proteus species. Dilution of patient’s serum are tested against suspensions of the different Proteus strains. William James Wilson (1879-1954) had noticed a similar cross ...
[1] [2] When, however, two different strains of Proteus are inoculated, the spreading films of growth fail to coalesce and remain separated by a narrow easily visible area. [2] The observation of this appearance, the Dienes phenomenon has been used to determine the identity or non-identity of strains in epidemiological studies. [2] [3]
P. mirabilis may refer to: Pisaura mirabilis, a spider species; Proteus mirabilis, a Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic bacterium species; See also
These include Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella, Escherichia coli, Enterococci, and Group B Streptococci. Studies are still being done into each of these bacteria but below is a brief summary of some of the lesser known bacteria. [15] P. mirabilis can be contracted in the community and in hospitals. This bacteria was ...
