Proteus mirabilis is a small gram-negative bacteria bacilli and a facultative anaerobe. A facultative anaerobe is when an organism can live in the absence or presence of oxygen. It is also a prokaryote‚ a single celled organism lacking a cell membrane bound nucleus‚ and can be divided into bacteria and archaea. Proteus mirabilis is characterized by their motility‚ its ability to distinguish maltose‚ and its inability to distinguish lactose. Proteus has the ability to stretch itself out and secrete

therapeutically on microorganisms. If an antimicrobial is effective against a large variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria‚ it is considered broad spectrum. Some examples of broad-spectrum antimicrobials include tetracycline‚ streptomycin‚ cephalosporins‚ ampicillin‚ and sulfonamides. Broad-spectrum antimicrobials are beneficial when the source of an infection is not yet known but it is critical to treat the infection immediately (Broad Spectrum Antibiotics‚ 1995-2010).

are different treatments for each of these infections. Chlamydia should be treated dually with doxycycline and azithromycin (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention‚ 2010). The treatment for Gonorrhea is a dual therapy of a single dose of cephalosporin and a single dose of azithromycin for 7 days (Crooks & Baur‚ 2011). Syphilis should be treated as soon as possible with one of these antibiotics; azithromycin‚ ceftriaxone‚ ciprofloxacin‚ or erythromycin (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Proteus Mirabilis Proteus mirabilis is part of the Enterobacteriaceae family. It is a small gram-negative Rod‚ and a facultative anaerobe‚ lastly‚ it is a Prokaryote. Furthermore‚ Proteus mirabilis is characterized by its swarming motility‚ its ability to ferment maltose‚ and its inability to ferment lactose. P. mirabilis has the ability to elongate itself and secrete a polysaccharide when in contact with solid surfaces‚ making it extremely motile on items such as medical equipment (catheters)
