Unlikely. Some spore like structure is present. No pleomorphism present. Check for swarming on blood agar.

Is proteus pleomorphic?

Jaya Vikas Kurhekar

You can check swarming motility on soft agar and other standard biochemical reactions. This doesn't look like Proteus.

Thank you alll.............

Gram stain does not provide concluding result on Proteus. Use some alternate method and fins actual proteus colonies.
