Proteus hauseri is a Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium.
Identification
Similar to other members of the Enterobacterales order, Proteus hauseri is oxidase negative, catalase positive, glucose fermenting, and nitrate reducing.[1] It shares a similar biochemical profile with Proteus vulgaris but can be differentiated by its ability to produce acid from trehalose.
History
Strains of Proteus vulgaris were historically divided into three biogroups: Biogroup 1 was characterized as negative for indole, salicin fermentation, and aesculin hydrolysis. Biogroup 2 was characterized as positive for indole, salicin, and aesculin. Biogroup 3 was characterized by positive indole production but negative for salicin and aesculin.[2] Taxonomic studies performed on P. vulgaris biogroup 3 in 1976 suggested that this strain was atypical from the two other P. vulgaris subclusters.[3] DNA hybridization performed on P. vulgaris biogroup 3 isolates found four distinct genomospecies, designate genomospecies 3, 4, 5, and 6. These genomospecies are difficult to differentiate phenotypically; however, P. vulgaris genomospecies 3 is unique in that it is negative for Jordan's tartrate and it was thus designated as Proteus hauseri.
