Virulence Factors Of Uropathogenic Proteus Mirabilis - A Mini Review

Proteus mirabilis is a common causative agent of the urinary tract. This microorganism expresses several virulence factors. In uropathogenesis processes P. mirabilis can expresses adhesins, flagella, toxins, enzymes, quorum sensing and immune evasion factors. This review describes some aspects of virulence factors of uropathogenic P. mirabilis.

O antigens of Proteus mirabilis and Proteus vulgaris strains isolated from patients with bacteremia.

During the period of 1971 to 1979, 172 Proteus mirabilis and 17 Proteus vulgaris strains were collected from blood cultures. Of these strains, 144 could be grouped into 25 O antigens. The most common antigens were O3, O23, O10, O30, and O24, which represented 46.1% of all strains. The O antigen distribution of strains isolated from blood cultures did not differ significantly from that of fecal ...

Phenotypic and Genotypic Characterization of Salmonella Typhi Virulence Factors Isolated From Patients with Typhoid Fever in Najaf Province /Iraq

Salmonella entericaserovar Typhi remains a major public health problem in many developing countries .The severity and pathogenesis of the disease depending on virulence factors. Previously, different virulence factors have been detected phenotypically and serologically for clinical and epidemiological investigation of salmonella. Beyond the phenotypic characterization, a reliable molecular meth...
