The microbiology of diabetic foot infections: a Ghanaian perspective
… DFU isolates, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirabilis in maintaining the chronicity of diabetic foot ulcers. Using 3 in vitro biofilm models; the conventional microtitre plate and Minimum Biofilm Eradication Concentration (MBEC™) High-Throughput assays and the Quasi–Vivo® continuous flow …

Understanding protease-mediated host-pathogen interactions in <i style="">Proteus mirabilis</i>
… metalloprotease secreted by <i>Proteus mirabilis</i>, a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen that is primarily implicated in catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs), which account for 80 % of all nosocomial infections. ZapA is an important virulence factor that contributes …

DYNAMIC SURFACES FOR URINARY CATHETERS: THE EFFECT OF POLY (GLYCEROL SEBACATE CITRATE) COMPOSITION ON DEGRADATION, ENCRUSTATION RESISTANCE AND BACTERIAL RESPONSE
… resistance properties and against E. coli and P. mirabilis infections was then analysed. To optimise the production of the PGSC, the effect of N2 atmosphere on the PGS prepolymers was evaluated with Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). A static N2 atmosphere was found to cause the …

Bioremediation of hexavalent chromium using gram-negative bacteria.
… and autoclaved bacteria, respectively). Proteus mirabilis and Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) bacterial strains were selected for further detailed analyses to investigate the enzyme system that is responsible for Cr (VI) reduction. To locate the cell compartment in which Cr (VI) removal took …

Characterization of bioflocculant produced by Proteus mirabilis PJC12 isolated from Tendele coal mine wastewater and its application.
… the bacterium showed 99% similarity to Proteus mirabilis PJC12 with accession number MK 802115.1. The optimisation of nutrients and culture conditions were examined and revealed that optimum inoculum size was 1% (w/v) for maximum bioflocculant production by P. mirabilis PJC12. Fructose as carbon …

Design and Development of an Anti-fouling Urinary Catheter Utilizing Active Surface Deformation
… remove biofilms. We first grew mature Proteus mirabilis crystalline biofilms on flat silicone elastomer substrates, and showed that application of strain to the substrate debonded the biofilm, and that increasing the strain rate increased biofilm detachment. A quantitative relationship between …

Experimental Studies on the Microbiota associated with Urinary Tract Infections
… isolates of E. coli, K. pneumoniae and P. mirabilis were used in the current study. All uropathogens exhibited the ability to form biofilms in a nutrient dependent manner and complete the biofilm cycle within 24h. They also displayed the ability to form intracellular bacterial communities …
