摘要: This review presents the current taxonomy of genera Proteus, Providencia, and Morganella, along with methods for identification each species within three genera, incorporating both conventional biochemical commercial methods. While all these organisms are ubiquitous in environment, individual case reports nosocomial outbreak that demonstrate their ability to cause major infectious disease problems presented. Lastly, anticipated antimicrobial susceptibility patterns reviewed. Many easily controlled, but advent newer more powerful agents has led some which laboratorians need be aware.
