Proteus penneri has been isolated from many different clinical sources, including surgical wound infections, urine, and blood. We describe the first reported case of P. penneri nosocomial urosepsis in a patient with diabetes. P. penneri was subsequently isolated from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and a pulmonary artery catheter tip.
