Isolation of phenylalanine-negative Proteus vulgaris.

Isolation and Characterization of Multi-drug Resistance Proteus Vulgaris from Clinical Samples of Uti Infected Patients from Midnapore, West Bengal

Recent global concern is that the inappropriate treatment and misuse of antibiotics leads to the emergence of antibacterial multidrug resistance in Proteus vulgaris and others common pathogenic bacteria. The present study investigates the prevalence of antibiotic resistance among Proteus vulgaris bacterial isolates from urine samples of UTI infected hospitalized patients. Thirty six (36) strain...

Isolation and Characterization of Proteus Vulgaris

Unique developmental characteristics of the swarm and short cells of Proteus vulgaris and Proteus mirabilis.

Swarming cells of Proteus mirabilis and Proteus vulgaris could be distinguished from their short-cell counterparts by virtue of their synthesis (or lack of synthesis) of certain enzymes and outer membrane proteins. Urease synthesis was constitutive in swarm cells and uninducible in short cells. In contrast, phenylalanine deaminase was inducible in both short and swarm cells, demonstrating that ...

Glucosamine-6-phosphate degradation by Proteus vulgaris and isolation of phosphoglucosaminisomerase.

Aron, H. (University of California, Santa Barbara), H. H. Yonenaka, and H. I. Nakada. Glucosamine-6-phosphate degradation by Proteus vulgaris and isolation of phosphoglucosaminisomerase. J. Bacteriol. 87:1123-1128. 1964.-The presence of the enzyme, phosphoglucosaminisomerase, was demonstrated in a strain of Proteus vulgaris. Fructose-6-phosphate and ammonia were shown to be the primary reaction...

Methyl mercaptan and dimethyl disulfide production from methionine by Proteus species detected by head-space gas-liquid chromatography.

Head-space gas-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry were used to detect and identify products formed by Proteus vulgaris, P. mirabilis, P. morganii, and P. rettgeri from a defined medium supplemented with either phenylalanine, methionine, valine, leucine, histidine, lysine, ornithine, threonine, asparagine, aspartic acid, or tryptophan. In a detailed study of the products formed by 68 st...
