Proteus mirabilis

Most strains of 'Proteus mirabilis' are sensitive to ampicillin and cephalosporins.

Proteus mirabilis is a Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod shaped bacterium.

A large number of studies on pattern formation in bacterial colonies have been performed in Bacillus subtilis and in Proteus mirabilis.

The equivalent of multiple nuclei in prokaryotes is multiple nucleoids in bacteria such as in Proteus mirabilis swarmer cells.

GU infections (including acute prostatitis) due to Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis or Klebsiella species.

"Uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections due to methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, or Proteus mirabilis."

Armitage was educated at University College London, and was awarded a PhD in 1976 for research on the bacterium Proteus mirabilis.

Glennon 'et al.' examined periurethral carriage of 'Proteus mirabilis' (a common cause of UTI in boys) in 60 circumcised and 124 uncircumcised boys.

Bactofilins have been implicated in cell shape regulation in other bacteria, including curvature of Proteus mirabilis cells, stalk formation by Caulobacter crescentus, and helical shape of Helicobacter pylori.

A wide variety of other infections has been reported on occasion, including Proteus mirabilis, enterococci and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, but it appears that Candida is the most common opportunistic invader in diaper areas.

Worldwide resistance to mecillinam in bacteria causing urinary tract infection has remained very low since its introduction; a 2003 study conducted in 16 European countries and Canada found resistance to range from 1.2% (Escherichia coli) to 5.2% (Proteus mirabilis).
