Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Proteus mirabilis is a Gram negative rod-shaped bacteria, belongs to the Enterobacteriaceae family. Member of the Proteus genus (Proteus spp.) which also includes Proteus mirabilis, Proteus penneri and Proteus hauseri, originally characterize by their ability to swarm on solid surfaces, are widespread in the environment and the gastrointestinal tract of human and animals and known to be an opportunistic pathogens isolated from urine, wounds and other clinical sources. The Proteus spp. bacteria, are distinguished by their reactions for indole production, salicin fermentation and aesculin hydrolysis. P. vulgaris produces indole which differentiates it from the indole-negative P. mirabilis and P. penneri. Proteus spp. bacteria may also be found in soil or water habitats where they often regarded as indicators of fecal pollution and a contamination threat for potential water or seafood poisoning._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ Proteus mirabilis OXK dead bacteria, ATCC strain 15146_x000D_ Application_x000D_ Anti-Proteus mirabilis antibody recognizes P. mirabilis whole extract and P. mirabilis LPS, the antibody also recognizes an additional ~70kDa band suspected as bacterial HSP70 (DNAK) in whole extract P. vulgaris, P. gingivalis, E.coli K-12, P.aeruginosa, S. flexneri, S. enterica and E. faecalis but it has no cross reactivity with P. vulgaris LPS. The antibody may be used in various immunochemical techniques including Immunoblotting and ELISA._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Supplied as a solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide as a preservative._x000D_ Other Notes_x000D_ This product is for R&D use only, not for drug, household, or other uses._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ This product is for R&D use only, not for drug, household, or other uses.
