Proteus (bacterium) Proteus (bacterium) Proteus is a genus of Gram-negative Proteobacteria. "Proteus" bacilli are widely distributed in nature as saprophytes, being found in decomposing animal matter, sewage, manure soil, the mammalian intestine, and human and animal feces. They are opportunistic pathogens, commonly responsible for urinary and septic infections, often nosocomial. Three species—"P. vulgaris", "P. mirabilis", and "P. penneri"—are opportunistic human pathogens. "Proteus" includes pathogens responsible for many human urinary tract infections.

However, this organism is
