Question 1

how common is an infection from  proteus mirabilis?

Accepted Answer

Common: Proteus mirabilis is often found as a cause of urinary tract infection.  Because the bug produces a urease enzyme, the urea in the urine is metabolized into ammonia.  This will make the ph of the urine alkaline and can be associated with urinary tract calculi (stones).

Question 2

what causes proteus mirabilis infection of the skin?

Accepted Answer

Proteus mirabilis: This would be incredibly unusual and would seriously question the diagnosis.  This organism is most commonly found in the GI tract and can cause uti.  Often on the surface of the skin, but seldom if ever the cause of infection.  See an infectious diseases expert and get examined. Good luck.

Accepted Answer

Hot water works: Cleaning your underwear in hot water will generally remove bacteria.

Question 4

is amoxcillin a good treatment for proteus mirabilis?

Accepted Answer

Proteus mirabilis: I am assuming you have UTI with this organism. If so, Amoxicillin may be quite effective, assuming the strain you have is sensitive.

Question 6

how do i get rid of infection in my cut?

Accepted Answer

Go see ur Family Doc: In truth, the answer depends. How long have you had the cut? Where is the cut? How deep is it? Any structures involved like joints or tendons? For simple shallow cuts, rinse w/plenty of water, then keep dry. While warm compresses are often used to draw your body's immune system's attention to areas of infection, if infection has already set into your cut, then it's best to see your Family Doc.

Question 10

i have a yeast infection and how do i get rid of it at home? i have all the symbol

Accepted Answer

If : If you feel like you have a vaginal yeast infection (thick white cottage cheese like discharge, itching and burning) then you can try an over the counter vaginal anti-fungal cream like Monistat or Clotrimazole vaginal cream. If this does not work then you may be dealing with a different type of infection and need to see your doctor right away for a complete exam and testing.
Good luck.
