			<p>Proteus mirabilis is a commonly isolated pathogen from patients suffering from
complicated urinary tract infections. The study was conducted over a period of one
and half year (January 2013 to June 2014). Clean catch midstream urine specimens
or catheterized urine samples were collected in sterile containers and were
processed by standard Microbiological techniques. Antimicrobial susceptibility
testing was done according to CLSI guidelines. MIC was calculated by BD
Phoenix automated system. The overall prevalence of P. mirabilis was 2.8% among
culture positive urine samples. Antibiotic susceptibility profile of P. mirabilis
showed that piperacillin/tazobactam, meropenem, cefotaxime, amikacin, aztreonam
and ciprofloxacin were the most active antibiotics as 87% to 98% of the strains
were susceptible while ampicillin, cefuroxime, ofloxacin and chloramphenicol
were least effective as none to only 13% of the strains were susceptible. According
to the pattern of antibiotic susceptibility in a health care institution, clinical
microbiology laboratories should decide that among group A and B, which agents
should be reported routinely and which agents should be reported selectively in
consultation with infection control committee of the health care institution.
Selective reporting minimise the selection of multidrug resistant strains by overuse
of broad spectrum agents.</p>
