  ABSTRACT: To analyse the genotypes of clinical isolates of Extended-Spectrum-β-Lactamase-Producing (ESBL-producing) Proteus mirabilis (P. mirabilis) and the mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance, to guide reasonable use of antibiotics and to avoid nosocomial outbreak infections by ESBL-producing P. mirabilis. 125 clinical isolates of P. mirabilis were collected from the Drug-Resistant Bacteria Surveillance Center of Anhui Province (from Jan 2009 to May 2010). Searching for the genotypes of ESBLs was perfomed by PCR amplification and DNA sequencing, and performed conjugation test simultaneously. Among ESBL-producing strains, CTX-M was the major genotype (3 CTX-M-13 and 1 CTX-M-3). TEM-1b spectrum β-lactamase was also prevalence in P. mirabilis. The diversity of β-lactamases in P. mirabilis and the emergency of multi-drug-resistance clinical strains will present serious threat to clinical therapy and even will lead to outbreak of nosocomial infections. Our study emphasizes the need for enhanced supervision of ESBL-producing P. mirabilis. Timely and reasonable drug-resistance data are indispensable to clinical therapy.
