how do you become infected with proteus miribillis —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.33.241.34 (talk • contribs)

I belive most cases occour due to cathertizeation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DavidB (talk • contribs)

This is true of UTIs in some cases. It is an organism that lives in the digestive tract however, so wiping from back to front can also cause infection. An article did also state that males who aren't circumcised can have the organism under the foreskin. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.4.109.19 (talk • contribs)

Autotroph or heterotroph?[edit]

Aritcle should note whether proteus mirabilis is an autotroph or heterotroph. I do not know and it is surprisingly difficult to find out. it is amazing that you can change anything on this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.65.231.187 (talk) 23:17, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

i would like to know about infection with proteus mirabilis[edit]

i know somebody that had 2 surgeris caused of this proteus, first was to ear, osteomastoidita, and second an abces to small cerebel, left part. after was surgered to eliminate the abces to small cerebel, the infection with proteus mirabilis reapeared in the same olace to small cerebe(brain). in the same place he was surgered and his body is not reacting to the antibiotics that was administered. can i have a response?

I also had an abces (under arm at bra level), which reoccurred after antibiotic treatment. Would like to know more. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.196.34.207 (talk) 02:53, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I had a cyst on at the base of my neck at the right side of my cervical spine. It was approx 5cm in diameter. It felt hard. 6 days ago, the surgeons cut it open and removed hardened tissue and fluid/puss. They left the cut open and each day I have the dressing changed, which includes a Aquacell dressing in the actual wound. Wound was approx 2.5cm deep, but has now reduced to about 1cm deep. At the clinic yesterday, I was told that it was Proteus Mirabilis, and the doctor told me that I do not need to take the antibiotics anymore, after having completed a 5 day cycle of Augmentin Duo. I am also diabetic, and it seems a little odd to not take antibiotics while the wound is still open and is still discharging a little. Can someone provide me some insight into this please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.145.92.103 (talk) 01:06, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Odour[edit]

"Also P. mirabilis produces a very distinct odour." Could you please describe the odour, this may be helpfull in identifying this bacterium. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.190.246.208 (talk) 20:16, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Diagnosis from Left Ear Swab: Proteus Mirabilis[edit]

I would like to know how my daughter (12yrs) could have contracted this bacteria in her ear, which caused a lot of pain, discomfort, terrible odour, as well as a large amount of secretion?

Thank you Wanda — Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.34.16.68 (talk) 11:41, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

P. mirabilis possible mistake or clarification needed[edit]

Under the page for P. vulgaris it is stated that P. mirabilis causes 9% of all Proteus infections but under the page for P. mirabilis it is stated that it causes 90% of all proteus infections. This could be a typo and instead it is P. vulgaris that causes 9% of proteus infections. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:6010:2000:40:A5D6:41FC:E0BC:5181 (talk) 20:10, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
