Proteus mirabilis — Proteus

Review by an infectious diseases specialist in progress · edited by a physician, AI-assisted writing · level of evidence computed from the source type · page as of 29 October 2026 · Methodology

Morganellaceae · Gram-negative

Proteus mirabilis est fortement uréase-positif, alcalinisant les urines et favorisant la formation de calculs de struvite. Une infection urinaire récidivante à Proteus fait rechercher une lithiase urinaire. L'odeur ammoniacale des urines est évocatrice. Sensibilité naturelle aux pénicillines mais résistances acquises possibles.

Scope: dosing as described in the cited guidelines (French or international context, stated by the source), for adults with normal renal function unless stated on the line.
