Proteus vulgaris Response to Various Antibacterial Agents

Abstract

Proteus vulgaris is commonly associated with urinary tract infections, wound infections and sepsis. The ability of microorganisms to resist antibiotic actions is referred to as antibiotic resistance. Objective: To compare the antibacterial effects of various medications on clinical isolates of P. vulgaris was the goal. Methods: Over the course of a year, 1000 samples were collected in a cross-sectional study at a hospital in Lahore, Pakistan. The Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion technique was used to test for antibiotic susceptibility. Results: It was determined that the most efficient antibacterial medicines against P. vulgaris. were Imipenem, Gentamycin, Amikacin, Augmentin, Linezolid, Levofloxacin, Ceftazidime, Norfloxacine, and Cefazolin. On the other hand, Meropenem, Cephalothin, Rifampicin, Cefoxitin, and Ampicillin had little effect on Proteus vulgaris. Conclusions: The study emphasizes the significance of preventative measures, such as responsible antibiotic use, the development of novel treatments, and the application of infection control techniques in healthcare settings, to effectively manage and prevent the spread of resistance. Antibiotic resistance in P. vulgaris is becoming a growing cause for concern.
