Background
Microbiology
- Gram-negative bacillus
- Oxidase-negative"Oxidase-negative" is not in the list (positive, negative, variable) of allowed values for the "Oxidase" property., urease-positive"urease-positive" is not in the list (positive, negative, variable) of allowed values for the "Urease" property.
- Part of the flora of the urinary and genital tracts as well as gastrointestinal tract
Clinical Presentation
- Urinary tract infection
- Urease produces alkaline environment that can cause struvite stones
- Wound infections
- Pneumonia
- Bacteremia
