introduction: resistance of pathogenic organisms to countenance antibiotics has become a worldwide problem with serious consequences on the treatment of infectious diseases. the aim of this study was to evaluate antibiotic resistance and also the detection of transferred antibiotic resistance by plasmid in clinical proteus isolates. materials and methods: a total of 250 urine samples were colle...

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...

We give an overview of the ESPRIT PROTEUS project, its basic tool-set architecture, and the PROTEUS Con-guration Language (PCL). It identiies several contributions made to the SCM eld during the past decade, and argues for the need to integrate these contributions into one coherent environment. The objectives of the PCL is then presented, and the diierent concepts in the language are presented....

A 37-year-old female presented with Proteus syndrome and was found to have an asymptomatic enlarged spleen. Pathology confirmed splenic lymphangiomatosis. We describe an association of these 2 disorders in the Middle Eastern population. Diagnosis and pathogenesis are discussed in this case report.

The case of a 9-month-old infant presenting with urinary tract infection due to Proteus mirabilis followed by acute renal failure congenital urethral stenosis calculosis is described. diagnostic implication discussed.

Cefoxitin and cefamandole were evaluated in vitro against 263 organisms. Studies were performed in Mueller-Hinton and nutrient broth and agar employing inoculum sizes of 10(6) and 10(8) organisms per ml. At obtainable serum levels both antibiotics were bactericidal for nearly all strains of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Proteus mirabilis, and Staphylococcus aureus but were inactive against Pseu...

Comparative in vitro susceptibility of Proteus species isolated from clinical specimens to ciprofloxacin, tetracycline and honey was evaluated using standard microbiological techniques. Honey was diluted by percent volume per volume concentration of 100%(neat), 80%(v/v), 60%(v/v), 40% (v/v), 20% (v/v) and 10% (v/v) and its antimicrobial activity against Proteus species compared to ciprofloxacin...
