“…The high occurrence of bla DHA in this study was inconsistent with two other studies performed in Iran and Egypt, in which no P. mirabilis isolates were positive for bla DHA screening (37), (38). However, in a study in Taiwan, bla TEM was the most common resistance gene (39). In two other studies conducted in Iraq and Korea, the most dominant gene was bla CTX-M (40,41).…”

“…Bacterial resistance is one of the major public health problems. It includes the emergence of MDR pathogens, such as resistant isolates of Proteus mirabilis , which have been associated with urinary tract infections and nosocomial infections worldwide [ 4 , 38 ]. P. mirabilis isolates have been reported to be resistant to penicillins [ 39 ].…”

“…These data come to confirm the literature, where increased resistance of Proteus strains to co-trimoxazole and quinolones has been noted, even though those resistance rates were higher than in this systematic review. 40 Given the above, it is no surprise that for the treatment of IE by Proteus species, aminoglycosides, cephalosporins and aminopenicillins were the most common antimicrobials used, while quinolones and carbapenems were used in fewer cases. Mortality was, however, high, with two out of five patients dying and the vast majority of them dying specifically due to the IE by Proteus which was higher than the rate in studies of IE by NHGNB, where mortality ranged from 5% to 24%.…”
