A member asked:
I hv uti im on prulofloxacin 600 been 2 days.went to pee and hv a new wound on my finger could proteus mirabilis enter my blood while washing my hand?

Not to worry: Although Proteus is a true infection, the likelihood of the bacteria entering the bloodstream is minimal. Antibiotics can typically steriize the urine within 24 hours, however, Proteus can be associated with kidney stones. It is important to rule out a kidney stone with an ultrasound of the kidney. If a stone is present, the bacteria can shed especially if they are resistant to the antibiotic.
