  • Title: A highly discriminatory multi-typing scheme for Proteus mirabilis and Proteus vulgaris.
    Author: Senior BW, Larsson P.
    Journal: J Med Microbiol; 1983 May; 16(2):193-202. PubMed ID: 6188832.
    Abstract:
    Strains of Proteus mirabilis and P. vulgaris isolated in England, Scotland and Sweden were characterised by proticine production-proticine sensitivity (P-S) typing, O serotyping and Dienes typing methods. The determinants of O antigenicity were independent of those determining proticine production and proticine sensitivity. Because of this independence, the combination of P-S typing and O serotyping for the analysis of the 133 serotypable strains separated them into 81 distinct types whereas P-S typing and O serotyping methods alone separated them into only 56 and 19 types respectively. There was a relationship between the Dienes type and the P-S type; the determinants of Dienes compatibility were the proticine production-proticine sensitivity characters. The determinants of O antigenicity appeared to play no role in the Dienes reaction. Some strains that were indistinguishable by P-S typing and O serotyping methods were distinguished by Dienes typing.
