Biochemical test for proteus mirabilis isolatated from urine and wound samples
Keywords:
Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgari, urinary tract infections, molecular vitek systemAbstract
A total of 150 urine samples were obtained from patients admitted to Al-Hilla Hospital and Al Hussein Training Hospital with urinary tract infections (53 males and 97 females, ages 10-65). Haemolysin, urease, fllagellin, adhesion factors genes (MR/P, MR/K, UCA, and ATF), and beta-lactamase genes were detected in all isolates (100%). Quorum sensing was also researched after Proteus mirabilis was discovered. The bacterial cells aggregated after being added to the supernatant, which was most likely induced by the presence of homoserine lactone.
