FAMILY EXTEKOBACTEKIACEAE 



491 



This does not appear to be a member of 

 the genus Proteus. 



Proteus nadsonii Lobik. (Diseases of 

 Plants, St. Petersburg, 9, 1915, 67.) 

 From decomposed potatoes and toma- 

 toes. This does not appear to be a mem- 

 ber of the genus Proteus.

 at al. (Bacillus noctuarum White, Jour. 

 Agr. Res., 26, 1923, 488; Escherichia 

 noctuarii Bergey et al., IVIanual, 3rd ed., 

 1930, 327; Bergey et al., jVIanual, 4th 

 ed., 1934, 363.) A cause of cutworm 

 (Fam. Noctuidae) septicemia. Cultur- 

 ally identical with but serologically 

 different from Proteus sphingidis. 



Proteus odorans Pribram. {Bacterium 

 aquatile odorans von Rigler, Hyg. Rund., 

 12, 1902, 479; Pribram, Klassifikation 

 der Schizomyceten, Leipzig and Wien,

 Aromatic odor in milk. 



Proteus paraamericanus Magalhaes and 

 Aragao. (Brasil Medico, 47, 1933, 815.) 

 From urine. Assis (Brasil Medico, No. 

 42-45, 1934, 35) states that this is Proteus 

 mirabilis. 



Proteus paradiffluens (Castellani) Cas- 

 tellani and Chalmers. {Bacillus para- 

 diffluens Castellani; Castellani and Chal- 

 mers, Manual Trop. Med., 3rd ed., 1919, 

 943.) This appears to be identical with 

 Proteus mirabilis. 



Proteus paramorganii Castellani and 

 Chalmers. (Man. Trop. Med., 3rd ed., 

 1919, 943.) This is an H form of Proteus 

 morganii. 



Proteus photuris Brown. (Amer. Mu- 

 seum Nov., No. 251, 1927, 9.) From 

 luminous organ of the firefly {Photuris 

 pennsylvanicus) . This does not appear 

 to be a member of the genus Proteus.

 Riegler. (Babes and Riegler, Cent. f. 

 Bakt., I Abt., Orig., 33, 1902-03, 449; 

 Bacillus piscicidus versicolor Nepveux, 

 These, Fac. Pharm., Paris, 1920, 114.) 

 From diseased carp (Cyprinus carpio). 

 Resembles Proteus vulgaris. 



Proteus pseudovaleriei Assis. (Jour. 



Hyg., 27, 1927, 108.) Rustigian and 

 Stuart (Proc. Soc. Exper. Biol, and Med., 

 53, 1943, 241) state that this is a para- 

 colon organism, presumably Paracolo- 

 bactrum coliforme Borman et al. See 

 Manual, 5th ed., 1939, 435 for a descrip- 

 tion of this species. 



Proteus recticolens Steinhaus. (Jour. 

 Bact., 42, 1941, 763.) From pylorus and 

 rectum of the milkweed bug {Oncopeltus 

 fasciatus). This appears to be a strain of 

 Paracolobactrum intermedium Borman 

 et al. 



Proteus sphingidis (White) Bergey et 

 al. {Bacillus sphingidis White, Jour. 

 Agr. Res., 26, 1923, 49; Escherichia 

 sphingidis Bergey et al.. Manual, 3rd 

 ed., 1930, 327; Bergey et al., Manual, 4th 

 ed., 1934, 366.) A cause of hornworm 

 septicemia {Protoparce sexta Johan. 

 and P. quinquemaculata Haw.). See 

 Manual, 5th ed., 1939, 605 for a descrip- 

 tion of this species. White {loc. cit.) 

 regards this species as possibly identical 

 with Coccobacillus acridiorum d'Herelle. 



Proteus sulfureus Holschewnikoff. 

 (Holschewnikoff, Fortschr. d. Med., 7, 

 1889, 201 and Ann. de Microgr., 1, 1888- 

 1889, 257; Bacillus lindenborni Trevisan, 

 I generi e le specie delle Batteriacee, 

 1889, 17; Bacillus sidfureus Migula, 

 Syst. d. Bakt., 2, 1900, 698; not Bacillus 

 sulfureus Trevisan, I generi e le specie 

 delle Batteriacee, 1889, 17.) From wa- 

 ter. Similar to or perhaps identical with 

 Proteus vulgaris Hauser. Produces H2S. 



Proteus sp. Steinhaus. (Jour. Bact., 

 42, 1941, 764.) This organism appears 

 to be a strain of Paracolobactrum inter- 

 medium Borman et al. 



Proteus sp. Warren and Lamb. (Jour. 

 Med. Res., 44, 1924, 375.) From feces 

 and blood of patient with a fatal infec- 

 tion. This organism does not appear 

 to be a member of the genus Proteus.

 Krogius. (Compt. rend. Soc. Biol., 

 Paris, 2, 1890, 65.) Regarded by Leh- 

 mann and Neumann (Bakt. Diag., 1 

 Aufi., 2, 1896, 243) as a synonym of Pro-
