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.
