Proteus mirabilis bacteria

Proteus mirabilis bacteria was dispersed in agar before solidifying into a Petri dish, and colonization occurred which seems contradictory for an aerobic microorganism, but is understandable considering the gel structure is permeable to air, water vapor, and nutrients. The previous observation is further reason not to constmct a barrier dressing from an aqueous gel, hydrogel or other similar material containing more than about 20% water where protection from bacteria is a critical requirement. 

Bacteria which are almost always sensitive to the sulphonamides include Strep, pneumoniae, /3-haemolytic streptococci, Escherichia coli and Proteus mirabilis those almost always resistant include Enterococcus faecalis, Ps. aeruginosa, indole-positive Proteus and Klebsiella whereas bacteria showing a marked variation in response include Staph, aureus, gonococci, El. influenzae and hospital strains of E. coli and Pr. mirabilis. 

Although proteins can be expressed in many heterologous production systems, including bacteria such as Proteus mirabilis [1], fungi such as Pichia pastoris [2, 3] and Aspergillus awamori [4] and insect cells [5, 6], the pharmaceutical industry has narrowed down process development to a small number of platform technologies ... 

Standard and the isolated strains of the following bacteria, namely Escherichia coli (ATCC 35218), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 10145), Proteus mirabilis (ATCC 7002), Klebsiella pneumoniae (RSKK 574), Acinetobacter baumannii (RSKK 02026), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), and Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 29212) for determination of antibacterial activity, along with standard strains of Candida albicans (ATCC 10231) and C. parapsilosis (ATCC 22019) were used for determination of antifungal activity. 

Sulfouamides have a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity, including Staphylococcus aureus, nonenterococcal types of Streptococcus, Listeria monocytogenes, Nocardia, Neisseria, Haemophilius influenzae, enteric Gram-negative types of E. coli, Proteus mirabilis, and a few forms of anaerobic bacteria. Above all, sulfonamides are used for treating uncomplicated infections of the urinary tract, infections caused by Nocardia asteroids, streptococcal pharyngitis, menigococcal diseases, toxoplasmosis, and others. 

Bacteria cultured for these tests were Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (59-1244/lux), and Staphylococcus aureus (29213 or ATCCR 25923). Luminescent bacteria are abbreviated as lux. ...

When swertiamarin (299) was metabolized under anaerobic conditions with a preparation of human fecal flora, three metabolites were produced, erythrocentaurin (339), gentianine (81), and 5-hydroxymethylisochroman-1-one (340) (228). A series of 26 individual human intestinal bacteria strains were also incubated with swertiamarin (299) and the products examined. The same three metabolites were observed in varying amounts from the various preparations. Gentianine (81) was detected from the preparations of 14 different bacteria, and the alkaloid yield optimized with Proteus mirabilis after about 6-12 h. A mechanistic explanation for the formation of the three primary metabolites was presented (Scheme 35) (228).

Four bacterial strains which grow on mercurial plates were isolated from mercury contaminated sludge. These mercury resistant bacteria were subjected to Gram stain and all were Gram-negative. The results of identification of these mercury volatilizing bacteria were Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas putida, Enterobacter agglomerans and Proteus mirabilis.
