Proteus septicemia

Proteus septicemia is a severe, life-threatening bloodstream infection and dysregulated systemic inflammatory state caused by Gram-negative bacilli of the genus *Proteus*, most commonly *Proteus mirabilis* or *Proteus vulgaris* It typically affects hospitalized, elderly, or immunocompromised individuals, frequently originating as a complication of obstructive nephrolithiasis, long-term indwelling urinary catheterization, or complex wound and intra-abdominal infections
