If the Gram stain is properly done, and based on color alone: - you CANNOT distinguish between Staphylococcus (positive/purple) and Streptococcus (positive/purple) - you CAN distinguish between Staphylococcus (positive/purple) and Neisseria (negative/red) - you CANNOT distinguish between Escherichia (negative/red) and Proteus (negative/red) - you CAN distinguish between Escherichia (negative/red) and Bacillus (positive/purple) Gram positives will stain purple because of the retention of the dye (crystal violet) in their thick peptidoglycan cell walls. On the other hand, Gram negatives have a thin cell wall and cannot retain the purple stain, so when they are counterstained, they will appear red
It's an Gram - ve bacteria.
Yes, Proteus mirabilis is a flagellated bacterium and can move through its environment by utilizing its flagella.
Yes, Proteus vulgaris can have a capsule, which is a protective layer outside the cell wall. The presence of a capsule in P. vulgaris can contribute to its virulence and ability to evade the host's immune system.
No, Proteus vulgaris is not acid-fast. Acid-fast bacteria retain the primary stain, carbol fuchsin, despite exposure to acid-alcohol decolorizer, while non-acid-fast bacteria do not retain the stain. Proteus vulgaris is a non-acid-fast bacterium.

Proteus is phenylalanine deaminase, urease and indole positive Salmonella negative. Proteus swarm on nonselective media, Salmonella does not.
Salpingitis is more common in infertile women, the reason of salpingitis is caused by infection of pathogen.Pathogen is mainly caused by staphylococcus, streptococcus, escherichia coli, gonococcus, bacillus proteus, pneumococci and chlamydia.
Indole test,Proteus vulgaris is be indole positive and Citrobacter freundii will be indole negative
Proteus mirabilis is catalase-positive, meaning it produces the enzyme catalase, which breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. When subjected to a catalase test, the addition of hydrogen peroxide to a culture of Proteus mirabilis will result in the production of bubbles, indicating a positive reaction. This characteristic helps differentiate Proteus mirabilis from other similar bacteria that may be catalase-negative.
Urease, which is produced by some microorganisms, is an enzyme that is especially helpful in the identification of Proteus vulgaris. Although other organisms may produce urease, their action on the substrate tends to be slower than that seen with Proteus species. Therefore, this test serves to rapidly distinguish members of this genus from other non-lactose-fermenting enteric microorganisms.
Sometimes the infection is fairly common among both humans and animals, and it is impossible to tell. Snakes may carry the bacteria Escherichia coli and Proteus vulgaris, but since these bacteria are common in humans, it would be difficult to trace.
The bacteria described is likely to be Proteus species. Proteus is negative for oxidase, motile, and positive for citrate utilization, urease production, and TSI (triple sugar iron) test showing an alkaline/no change reaction. These characteristics are commonly associated with Proteus species.
Proteus Gowanus was created in 2005.
DJ Proteus was born in 1977.
Proteus In The Underworld was created in 1995.
Hypsoblennius proteus was created in 1960.
