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 faecal 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.
When P. vulgaris is tested using standard biochemical assays, it is discovered that it provides a positive result for: sulfur reduction, urease production, tryptophan deaminase production, and indole production. I identified my unknown as P. vulgaris because it presented with a ……..and negative reactions for.
The optimal growing conditions of this organism is in a facultative anaerobic environment with an average temperature of about 23-37 degrees Celsius .
