Fungal infections are nowadays considered a public health problem, due to the increasing
number of immunocompromised patients who are more susceptible to them. In addition, the …

Urea is generated in humans following the breakdown of amino acids and is evenly
distributed throughout the body, including in the central nervous system, subcutaneous …

Numerous macrofungi, filamentous fungi, and yeasts are known to produce ureases that
hydrolyze urea and allow for the use of this rather ubiquitous organic compound as a …

In the early 1700s, an animal substance, later named urea, was obtained for the first time
from fermented urine. It was the production of urea from ammonium cyanate that marked the …

Ureases are enzymes that hydrolyze urea into ammonium and carbon dioxide. They have
received considerable attention due to their impacts on living organism health, since the …

Ureases (EC 3.5. 1.5) are nickel-dependent metalloenzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of
urea to ammonia and carbon dioxide. Produced by plants, fungi and bacteria, but not by …

Ureases, metalloenzymes that hydrolyze urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide, are
ubiquitous in bacteria, archaea, plants, and fungi. Ammonia released by ureases increases …

Urease is a key virulence factor for many urinary tract pathogens including Proteus mirabilis,
Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, and Ureaplasma urealyticum …

In this review, an overview of the available literature on urease is presented. Urease is an
enzyme which catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea. The occurrence of ureases and their …

The number of patients suffering from fungal diseases has constantly increased during the
