Proteus spp Antibody (31-17): sc-57988

Proteus spp Antibody (31-17) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2a antibody that detects Proteus spp protein by immunofluorescence (IF). Anti-Proteus spp antibody (31-17) is available as a non-conjugated format. The Proteus genus comprises Gram-negative Proteobacteria, including several pathogenic species such as P. vulgaris, P. mirabilis, and P. penneri, which cause a range of human infections, particularly urinary tract infections. These bacteria hydrolyze urea, raising the pH of urine and contributing to kidney stone formation, a significant health concern. The hydrolysis of urea is facilitated by urease, which allows Proteus species to thrive in the urinary tract environment. Proteus species exhibit unique swarming motility, aiding in colonization and persistence in host tissues. Understanding pathogenic mechanisms of Proteus spp, including urea hydrolysis and motility, remains crucial for developing effective treatments and preventive measures against infections.
