title: Ulcer infection by ESbetaL-producing Proteus mirabilis: a case report.
abstract: In this article, a case of decubitus ulcer infection caused by an extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Proteus mirabilis strain, successfully treated with oral amoxicillin-clavulanate (1-month therapy) is described.
