Abstract
Indole negative Proteus species are invariably incorrectly identified as Proteus
mirabilis, often missing out isolates of Proteus penneri. We report a case of
extended spectrum beta lactamase producing and multidrug-resistant P. penneri
isolated from pus from pressure sore of a patient of road traffic accident. Correct
and rapid isolation and identification of such resistant pathogen are important
as they are significant nosocomial threat.
