Green Quasi-Science
There is no room for quasi-science in the certification of environmental claims. In the long run, environmental marketing can only be effective if it is backed by sound scientific methodology.
Proteus vulgaris is a rod-shaped, Gram-negative bacterium that inhabits the intestinal tracts of animals and humans and can be pathogenic. P. vulgaris forms a natural part of the intestinal flora in animals and humans, and is also found in soil and water. In people whose immune systems are suppressed it can be an opportunistic pathogen, causing urinary tract infection, pneumonia or septicemia. Unlike its relative Proteus mirabilis, P. vulgaris is not sensitive to to ampicillin and cephalosporins. Proteus vulgaris is a chemoheterotroph in the Proteobacteria group.
