Proteus mirabilisfrom dogs. Proteus mirabilis is a common cause of upper and lower UTIs in dogs as well as otitis externa and uncommonly pyoderma. It produces a potent urease and so may contribute to development of struvite urolithiasis. Proteus mirabilis from dogs 48437 110 had high antimicrobial susceptibility 90 to amoxicillinclavulanic acid enrofloxacin and marbofloxacin and slightly lower susceptibility 80-85 to ampicillin and orbifloxacin.
Proteus mirabilis and antimicrobial susceptibility test. Field isolates of Proteus P mirabilis from the urine of dogs diagnosed with bacterial cystitis were identified based on characteristic swarming colony morphology foul odor of blood agar cultures and standard chemical tests oxidase-negative indole-negative and ornithine. Proteus mirabilis is an opportunistic pathogen associated with a variety of infections in humans especially those in the urinary tract.
The isolation of this pathogen in foods of animal origin such as meat is poorly documented and should not be neglected in view of the zoonotic risk that this can pose to human health. To prevent colonization of animals with P. Mirabilis the animals must be raised in strict bioexclusion housing such as would be necessary for immunodeficient mice.
Mirabilis is susceptible to most common disinfectants used in animal facilities. Any chemical or mechanical sterilant will also serve to remove P. Mirabilis from the environment.
Proteus mirabilis is a gram-negative facultative anaerobe with swarming motility and an ability to self-elongate and secrete a polysaccharide which allows it to attach to and move along surfaces like catheters intravenous lines and other medical equipment. Proteus mirabilis is a Gram-negative bacterium which is well-known for its ability to robustly swarm across surfaces in a striking bulls-eye pattern. Clinically this organism is most frequently a pathogen of the urinary tract particularly in patients undergoing long-term catheterization.
Proteus mirabilis is a Gram-negative facultatively anaerobic rod-shaped bacterium. It shows swarming motility and urease activity. Mirabilis causes 90 of all Proteus infections in humans.
It is widely distributed in soil and water. Proteus mirabilis can migrate across the surface of solid media or devices using a type of cooperative group motility called swarming. Properties Proteus mirabilis Capsule.

Clinical disease can occur following stress or induced immunosuppression. Immunodeficient mice have a heightened susceptibility to pathogenic infection. Were included from infections of the genital tract GT of horses 36 isolates and the urinarygenital tract UGT from dogs and cats 17 isolates while Proteus spp.
This study describes the characterization of twenty-four OXA-23 or OXA-58 producing-Proteus mirabilis isolates recovered from human and. These results suggest that dogs may be reservoirs of P. Mirabilis to humans and vice versa but also that dogs are likely reservoirs to other dogs.
These outcomes are also relevant in infection settings since dogs with UTI that is caused by P. Mirabilis are known to have a significantly higher P. Mirabilis fecal burden 13 which hypothetically may increase the transmission risk.
In Enterobacterales the most common carbapenemases are Amblers class A KPC-like class B NDM- VIM- or IMP-like or class D OXA-48-like enzymes. This study describes the characterization of twenty-four OXA-23 or OXA-58 producing-Proteus. Are commensal gastrointestinal bacteria in many hosts but information regarding the mutual relationships between these bacteria and their hosts is limited.
The tree shrew is an alternative laboratory animal widely used for human disease research. However little is known about the relationship between Proteus spp. Proteus mirabilis is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen that causes diarrhea in humans cats dogs 7 8 and avian 9 10.
Mirabilis has been rarely reported to cause spontaneous infection in rhesus monkeys or ferrets. In the present study P. Mirabilis was isolated from rhesus monkeys and ferrets with diarrhea.
Proteus includes pathogens responsible for many human urinary tract infections. Mirabilis causes wound and urinary tract infections. Most strains of P.
Mirabilis are sensitive to ampicillin and cephalosporins. Vulgaris is not sensitive to these antibiotics but ticarcillin. However this organism is isolated less often in the laboratory and usually only targets immunosuppressed.
Nevertheless cluster C36 included five P. Mirabilis from companion animals similarity 858957 of which four 80 were multidrug-resistant CMY-2-producers. Mirabilis is known as an opportunistic bacterial pathogen that incriminated in community-acquired infections food-borne infections serious nosocomial infections and urinary tract infections.
Proteus is a genus of Gram-negative Proteobacteria widely distributed in the environment Janda and Abbott 2006. Rózalski et al 2012. Are opportunistic pathogens commonly responsible for urinary and septic infections in humans often nosocomial Jacobsen et al 2008Proteus spp.
Occasionally cause disease in livestock and poultry. Proteus species are frequently found in soil water and the intestinal tract of many animals including humans Drzewiecka 2016 and Nahar et al 2014 8 13. Many outbreaks of food poisoning have been attributed to organisms of the Proteus group and due to the rising incidence of food borne infections caused by P.
Mirabilis there is an urgent. Proteus species are part of the Enterobacteriaceae family of gram-negative bacilli. The first isolates were reported and characterized by Hauser in the late 19th century.
