Popis

General description

Standardization of sample analysis is currently neededin microbiome genomics research workflow. Lack of standardization can lead tobiases and errors in common processes during sample preparation and analysissuch as sample amplification, sequencing and bioinformatics analyses.¹ Inactivated Proteus mirabilis can serve as standard for benchmarking theperformance along the workflow of microbiomics or meta-genomics analyses and asa tool to increase reproducibility and allow comparison of results obtained bydifferent labs.
Proteusmirabilis is a gram negative facultative anaerobicrod-shaped bacterium. Bacteria of the genus Proteus of the familyEnterobacteriaceae are opportunistic human pathogens responsible for wound andburn infections as well as skin, eye, ear, nose, throat, urinary tract, andgastrointestinal infections and bacteremias.² The most common infection involving P. mirabilis occurs when the bacteria, which is a memberof the natural intestinal flora, moves to the urethra and urinary bladder causingurinary tract infection. The outer-membrane lipopolysaccharide (LPS) isconsidered an important virulence factor of Proteus.³ Arabski et al. suggest that theimmunological response against P. mirabilis LPS might play a role in rheumatoidarthritis.⁴ A possible correlation between the abundanceof P. mirabilis in the intestine and obesity was suggestedrecently.⁵
