Proteus OX19 is a strain of the Proteus vulgaris bacterium. History In 1915, Arthur Felix and Edward Weil discovered that Proteus OX19 reacted to the same human immune antibodies as typhus and so developed the Weil Felix test for typhus and other Rickettsia rickettsial diseases . Drs. Eugene Lazowski Eugeniusz Lazowski and Stanis aw Matulewicz worked with Proteus OX19 during World War II in the small town of Rozwad w in Poland to keep Nazi Germany from taking over the town. The doctors began inoculating villagers with dead Proteus, rendering false positives in tests for typhus. When the blood samples of the townspeople were sent to the German authorities for testing, authorities were convinced that there was a typhus epidemic burning through Rozwad w. Two Polish doctors used Proteus OX19 to save hundreds of Poles.
