A member asked:

What to do if i found out i had a uti caused by proteus mirabilis. my doctor said my boyfriend doesn't need to be treated?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Correct: Proteus is normal body flora that just somehow overgrew. The same is true of other urinary tract infections. Vigorous sexual activity increases the risk for a woman to get a bacterial urinary tract infection, but the partner need not be treated.
