Proteus mirabilis in ICU Patients: Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Future Expectations of Bloodstream Infections.

Background is an emerging but under-recognized cause of bloodstream infections (BSIs) in intensive care unit (ICU) settings, where invasive procedures and immunocompromised states increase vulnerability. Despite its clinical importance, the epidemiology and risk factors associated with BSIs remain poorly understood, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Gap Most existing studies generalize Gram-negative pathogens without isolating the specific impact of in ICU populations.
