Description

Proteus vulgaris is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium characterized by the presence of true flagella, which facilitate its motility. This microbe is commonly found in diverse environments, including the digestive tracts of animals, as well as in more unusual habitats such as the handsets of telephone booths, and various food sources like meat and milk. Proteus vulgaris has a single replicon, reflecting its genetic organization. The genomic information for this bacterium is represented in the accession number CVRZ00000000.1, which provides insights into its genetic makeup. Notably, Proteus vulgaris is known for its ability to thrive in both natural and anthropogenic environments, indicating a versatile ecological role. This adaptability may enhance its survival in various niches, including those that are frequently contaminated by human activity.
