Abstract
Strains of Proteus penneri from seven abdominal wounds (after bowel resection), five urine samples, and eight other sites were isolated in mixed cultures. Seven urine isolates were in pure cultures. All infections were nosocomially acquired, indicating that complete identification of P. penneri in the clinical laboratory is warranted.
