AI Article Synopsis
- A urine sample from a patient with a urinary tract infection revealed a strain of Proteus mirabilis that relies on carbon dioxide for growth.
- It highlights the necessity of conducting urine cultures in an environment with 5% carbon dioxide and without oxygen.
- This approach is crucial when Gram stain results show bacteria but routine media aren't yielding any growth.
Article Abstract
From a urine sample from a patient with a urinary tract infection, a carbon dioxide-dependent Proteus mirabilis strain was isolated. It is important to perform urine cultures in 5% carbon dioxide and an anaerobic atmosphere if bacteria prominent in Gram stains do not grow on routine media in ambient air.
