Explanation:
Proteus comes under the family <em>Enterobacteriaceae </em>and is often associated with urinary tract infections in animals and humans. These bacteria are often the part of intestine but become pathogenic when enter into urinary tract.
<em>Proteus mirabilis</em> is a gram negative anaerobic bacteria present as normal flora of intestine known to cause urinary tract infections in humans but most of the urinary tract infection is caused by <em>E. coli.</em><em> </em>
