Some species spread over the surface of agar plate cultures, a feature associated with their motility. They are common in faeces, where they are usually commensal, but they occur as pathogens in urine, burns and other skin conditions. Many ‘O’ and ‘H’ serotypes exist.A genus of rodlike Gram-negative flagellate highly motile bacteria common in the intestines and in decaying organic material. All species can decompose urea. Some species may cause disease in man: P. morganii is associated with acute enteritis in children, and P. vulgaris can cause urinary tract infections.A category of microorganisms within the Enterobacteriaceae family. Members of this genus have been linked to various illnesses, including pleurisy, peritonitis, cystitis, and abscesses. Additionally, one species from this group has been identified in cases of summer diarrhea in infants.
