The current work was conducted for isolation and identification of Proteus mirabilis from humans and cats.

These clinical samples included: (90) wound swabs from humans While the total number of samples amount to wound swabs in cats (60). These samples of humans were collected from Al- Zahra Teaching Hospital in wasit and the samples of cats is collected from different places. All isolates Proteus mirabilis were characterized according to the morphology and microscopic characteristics, along with the biochemical and confirmatory APi 20 E tests. These isolates were obtained from: humans (15) and cats (11).Then determination of antibiotics susceptibility pattern of recovered isolates. The human isolates showed resistant 100 % to Ampicillin, Penicillin, Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole, Streptomycin, Chloramphenicol, Amoxicillin / clavulanic acid, Erythromycin, Tetracycline, Cefoxitin and Vancomycin. Sensitive (100%) for Gentamycin and Ofloxacin. otherwise the cat’s isolates showed resistant (100%) to Ampicillin, Penicillin, Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole, Streptomycin, Chloramphenicol, Amoxicillin / clavulanic acid, Erythromycin, Tetracycline, Ofloxacin, Cefoxitin and Vancomycin.
