Hello, Proteus may develop resistance to Chat Doctor.  But sensitivity and culture test is useful to confirm the cause. The most appropriate treatment for P. Mirabilis may be aminoglycosides, carbapenems (except Eminem), and 3rd generation cephalosporins.  Recent P. Mirabilis isolates were also mostly susceptible to augmenting, ampicillin-sulbactam, and piperacillin/tazobactam. So please get it done culture and sensitivity according to that get treated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
