Reduced Susceptibility of Proteus mirabilis to triclosan.
Clinical isolates of Proteus mirabilis causing catheter encrustation and blockage are susceptible to the biocide triclosan (MICs of 0.2 mg/liter). Studies with laboratory models of the bladder have demonstrated that the inflation of catheter retention balloons with triclosan solutions rather than water results in the diffusion of triclosan from the balloons into the surrounding urine and the in...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Susceptibility of Proteus mirabilis: Impact of Biofield Energy Treatment
Proteus mirabilis (P. mirabilis) is a species of Gram-negative and facultative anaerobic bacteria that shows swarming motility and urease activity. Proteus ranked third as the cause of hospital-acquired infections [1]. The organism is rod-shaped and motile bacterium with diverse mode of transmission [2]. P. mirabilis is a common causative organism of urinary tract infection (UTI) in the complic...
متن کاملLipoprotein from Proteus mirabilis.
The biosynthesis of a Proteus mirabilis outer membrane protein of molecular weight of approximately 7,000 was found to be relatively resistant to puromycin and rifampin, as is the case for the Escherichia coli liporotein. Furthermore, the existence of the lipoprotein in P. mirabilis was indicated by a comparison of the amino acid compositions of the purified free and bound forms of this protein...
متن کاملBacteriophage typing of Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris, and Proteus morganii.
A bacteriphage typing scheme for differentiating Proteus isolated from clinical specimens was developed. Twenty-one distinct patterns of lysis were seen when 15 bacteriophages isolated on 8 Proteus mirabilis, 1 P. vulgaris, and 1 P. morganii were used to type 162 of 189 (85.7%) P. mirabilis and P. vulgaris isolates. Seven phages isolated on 3 P. morganii were used to type 13 of 19 (68.4%) P. mo...
متن کاملFimbriae of uropathogenic Proteus mirabilis.
Proteus mirabilis is a common causative agent of cystitis and pyelonephritis in patients with urinary catheters or structural abnormalities of the urinary tract. Several types of fimbriae, which are potentially involved in adhesion to the uroepithelium, can be expressed simultaneously by P. mirabilis: mannose-resistant/Proteus-like (MR/P) fimbriae, P. mirabilis fimbriae (PMF), uroepithelial cel...
