Misspelled?: Proteus mirabilis is a bacterium which can cause sepsis. Proteus syndrome is a congenital condition involving skin overgrowth and atypical bone changes, named after the god proteus because of changing forms. Protease inhibitors are antiviral drugs used to treat hiv. Not sure what you are referring to.
