Question: what is the best antibiotic to treat proteus mirabilis?
Answer: The most appropriate treatment for P. mirabilis may be aminoglycosides, carbapenems (except imipenem), and 3rd generation cephalosporins. Recent P. mirabilis isolates were also mostly susceptible to augmentin, ampicillin-sulbactam, and piperacillin/tazobactam.
