Weekly urine specimens from 51 long-term catheterized patients yielded 699 isolates of Providencia stuartii. Urease-positive strains represented 23.7% (166) of the isolates, sucrose-positive strains represented 24.5% (171), and lactose-utilizing strains represented 0.7% (5). Urease and sucrose traits were transferred by conjugation to Escherichia coli via an 82-kilobase plasmid; lactose fermentation was transferred by a 150-kilobase plasmid.
从51例长期留置导尿管患者的每周尿液标本中分离出699株斯氏普罗威登斯菌。脲酶阳性菌株占分离株的23.7%（166株），蔗糖阳性菌株占24.5%（171株），乳糖利用菌株占0.7%（5株）。脲酶和蔗糖性状通过一个82千碱基的质粒经接合作用转移至大肠杆菌；乳糖发酵则通过一个150千碱基的质粒转移。
