Abstract
|
|
|
Genus Proteus normally constitutes a considerable proportion of commensal bacteria in the intestinal tract and is frequently isolated from various clinical specimens.
Recently, the Proteus group are considered to be one of the clinically important Gram-negative bacilli due to broad resistance to common antibiotics. An analysis was made on 93 Proteus strains isolated from various clinical specimens from January 1 to November 15, 1973.
The following results were obtained;
1) The species of 93 strains were identified to be 7 P. vulgaris, 32 P. mirabilis, 40 P. morganii and 7 P. rettgeri.
2) The sources of frequent Proteus isolations were stool and rectal swab (43 strains), pus (31 strains) and urine(11 strains).
3) Clinically significant Proteus infections appeared to be wound infections and urinary infections.
4) No significant difference in Proteus infections observed between male and female group.
5) The relatively potent drugs for Proteus spp. appeared to be Gentamicin and Kanamycin whereas
Penicillin, Chloramphenicol, Ampicillin, Tetracycline, and Lincomycin appearedgene rally non effective.
