Characterization of Antibiotic-Susceptibility Patterns, Virulence Factor Profiles and Clonal Relatedness in Proteus mirabilis Isolates from Patients with Urinary Tract Infection in Iran

Abstract excerpt

Purpose: Proteus mirabilis is one of the most important agents of urinary tract infection (UTI). As there are limited data abou the pathogenicity P. mirabilis isolated from Iran, we investigated the virulence characteristics and antibiotic resistance in the isolates. Finally, the genotypic patterns were evaluated by Pulse field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Methods: A total of 110 isolates of P. mirabilis causing...
