Proteus mirabilis is generally easy to culture, but its tendency to swarm on a wide variety of media can interfere with isolation of single colonies or identification of other species in a sample. Therefore, specialized media may be needed to control swarming or to study the bacteria under chemically defined conditions. Here, methods are described for routine culture of P. mirabilis, isolation of P. mirabilis from mixed cultures, and culture of P. mirabilis on physiologically relevant media.
