Proteus penneri urosepsis in a patient with diabetes mellitus.
Proteus penneri has been isolated from many different clinical sources, including surgical wound infections, urine, and blood. We describe the first reported case of P. penneri nosocomial urosepsis in a patient with diabetes. P. penneri was subsequently isolated from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and a pulmonary artery catheter tip.
