Culture would show: Presence of proteus. That is what a urine culture would show. Sensitivities would show which antibiotics would be effective or not.

I had proteus mirabilis in my vagina not my bladder. Therefore no uti, just bacteria in my vagina. How would my husband be tested for it and is it necessary? Also what type of doctor would do testing?
