Proteus vulgaris Hauser 1885 |
Proteus vulgaris is a rod-shaped, gram-negative bacterium that inhabits the intestinal tracts of humans and animals. It can be found in soil, water and fecal matter. It is grouped with the enterobacteriaceae and is an opportunistic pathogen of humans. It is known to cause urinary tract infections and wound infections.
The term Proteus signifies changeability of form, as personified in the Homeric poems in Proteus, "the old man of the sea," who tends the sealflocks of Poseidon and has the gift of endless transformation. The first use of the term “Proteus” in bacteriological nomenclature was made by Hauser (1885) who described under this term three types of organisms which he isolated from putrefied meat. One of the three species Hauser identified was Proteus vulgaris so this organism has a long history in Microbiology.
Over the past two decades the genus Proteus, and in particular P. vulgaris, has undergone a number of major taxonomic revisions. In 1982, P. vulgaris was separated into three biogroups on the basis of indole production. Biogroup one was indole negative and represented a new species: P. penneri; while biogroup two and three remained together as P. vulgaris.

According to laboratory conducted fermentation tests, P. vulgaris ferments glucose and amygdalin, but does not ferment mannitol or lactose. P. vulgaris also tests positive for the methyl red (mixed acid fermentation) test and is also an extremely motile organism.
When P. vulgaris is tested using the API 20E Identification System [1] test strip for enterobacteriaceae (made by BIOMERIEUX) [2], it is discovered that it provides a positive result for: sulfur reduction, urease production, tryptophan deaminase production, indole production, sometimes positive gelatinase activity and saccharose fermentation, and provides a negative result for the remainder of the tests on the testing strip.
It is referenced in the Analytical Profile Index using the nine-digit code: 047602157
The optimal growing conditions of this organism is in a facultative anaerobic environment with an average temperature of about 37 degrees Celsius .
The Becton/Dickinson BBL Enterotube II system for identification of members of the family Enterobacteriaceae inoculated with Proteus vulgaris may yield the following results: Positive for Glucose fermentation (with gas production). Negative for Lysine and Ornithine. Positive for Hydrogen sulfide production and positive for Indole production. Negative for Adonitol and Lactose. Negative for Arabinose, Sorbitol and Dulcitol. The Phenylalanine test was positive as was the Harnstoff Urea test. Proteus vulgaris can test positive or negative for Citrate. All combine for a "Biocode ID of 31407" for use in the Interpretation Guide/Computer Coding and Identification System (CCIS). Note that Proteus vulgaris can also test Urease negative in solid media (such as in Enterotube), but will be Urease positive in liquid media. The CCIS code will still identify Proteus vulgaris with a negative urease test.

adherence factors
Fimbriae—facilitate adherence and thus enhance the capacity of the organism to produce disease
inflammatory response
IL-6/IL-8 secretion—attachment to uroepithelial cells initiates secretion apoptosis and epithelial cell desquamation pyelonephritis—Bacterial production of urease increases risk bacteremia & sepsis—bacterial endotoxin (LPS)
Survival urease production—alkalinize the urine by hydrolyzing urea to ammonia makes proteus effective in producing an environment in which it can survive.
Bacteremia & sepsis—Enterobacteriaceae (of which Proteus is a member) and Pseudomonas species are the microorganisms most commonly responsible for gram-negative bacteremia.
The presence of the sepsis syndrome associated with a UTI should raise the possibility of urinary tract obstruction. This is especially true of patients who reside in long-term care facilities, who have long-term indwelling urethral catheters, or who have a known history of urethral anatomic abnormalities.
Urease production leads to precipitation of organic and inorganic compounds, which leads to struvite stone formation. Struvite stones are composed of a combination of magnesium ammonium phosphate (struvite) and calcium carbonate-apatite. Struvite stone formation can be sustained only when ammonia production is increased and the urine pH is elevated to decrease the solubility of phosphate. Both of these requirements can occur only when urine is infected with a urease-producing organism such as Proteus. Urease metabolizes urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide: Urea 2 NH3 + CO2. The ammonia/ammonium buffer pair has a pK of 9.0, resulting in the combination of highly alkaline urine rich in ammonia.
Symptoms attributable to struvite stones are uncommon. More often, women present with UTI, flank pain, or hematuria and are found to have a persistently alkaline urine pH (>7.0).
Known antibiotics that P. vulgaris is sensitive to:
Ciprofloxacin
Ceftazidime
Netilmicin
Sulbactam or Cefoperazo
Meropenem
Piperacillin/tazobactam
Unasyn
Antibiotics should be introduced in much higher doses than "normal" when P. vulgaris has infected the sinus or respiratory tissues; for example Ciprofloxacin should be introduced at a level of at least 2000 mg per day orally in such a situation, rather than the "standard" 1000 mg per day.
