چکیده
The clinical significance of Proteus penneri, a newly described species, is unknown. A case report is presented, which is to the best of our knowledge the first description of this organism causing a urinary tract infection and bladder calculi.

We are reporting two different cases of two new Proteus speciesProteus hauseri and Proteus penneri isolated from two different patients. One case reports a one month old male child with history of diarrhoea since six days. His stool sample was sent for microbiological examination and the second case is of Ante natal care patient with urinary tract infection whose urine was send for microbiologi...
متن کاملCharacterization and serological classification of a collection of Proteus penneri clinical strains.
INTRODUCTION Bacteria of the genus Proteus, which are a common cause of urinary tract infections, are divided into four species: P. mirabilis, P. vulgaris, P. penneri, and P. hauseri, and three unnamed genomospecies, Proteus 4, 5, and 6 (single-strain species P. myxofaciens was isolated from the gypsy moth). Establishing the serological classification of these species would aid in completing th...
متن کاملSerological classification and epitope specificity of Proteus penneri S29 lipopolysaccharide.
INTRODUCTION Gram-negative bacteria of genus Proteus are common human intestinal and urinary tract pathogens. In the genus Proteus there are four clinically important named species: P. mirabilis, P. vulgaris, P. penneri, and P. hauseri, and three unnamed Proteus genomospecies: 4, 5, and 6. The clinical significance of P. penneri, described in 1982 as a new species, is poorly documented. The aim...
متن کاملPrevalence and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern of Proteus Species in Clinical Samples
Proteus is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria belonging to the family of Enterobactericeae. Proteus species are distinguishable from most other genera by their ability to swarm across an agar surface (Jacobsen et al., 2008). Proteus is widespread in the environment and makes up part of the normal flora of the human gastrointestinal tract. Proteus ranks third as the cause of hospital-acquired inf...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of the Bioelectricity-Generating and Dye-Decolorizing Bacterium Proteus hauseri Strain ZMd44
Proteus hauseri ZMd44 (CGMCC 6746), as a crucial biodecolorizing, bioelectricity-generating, and copper-resistant bacterium, is distinguished from the urinary pathogens Proteus penneri and Proteus mirabilis. To further investigate the genetic functions of this strain, the genome sequence and annotation of its open reading frames, which consist of 3,875,927 bp (G+C content, 38.12%), are presente...
