Urease-producing bacteria (especially Proteus mirabilis) can cause infection kidney stone.
However, recent studies have shown that intact viable non-urease-producing bacteria such …

Escherichia coli (E. coli) is closely associated with the formation of kidney stones. However,
the role of E. coli in CaOx stone formation is not well understood. We explored whether E …

Our previous report showed that uropathogenic bacteria, eg, Escherichia coli, are commonly
found inside the nidus of calcium oxalate (CaOx) kidney stones and may play pivotal roles in …

Escherichia coli is the most common bacterium isolated from urine and stone matrix of
calcium oxalate (CaOx) stone formers. Whether it has pathogenic role (s) in kidney stone …

Introduction: The pathogenesis of infectious kidney stones is poorly understood. Bacteria
have been implicated in promoting infectious stones via urease production; however, there …

Bacterial infection has long been recognized to contribute to struvite urinary stone
deposition; however, its contribution to the development of chronic kidney stones has not …

Background Human kidney stones form via repeated events of mineral precipitation, partial
dissolution, and reprecipitation, which are directly analogous to similar processes in other …

Background The role of calcium oxalate crystals and deposits in UTI pathogenesis has not
been established. The objectives of this study were to identify bacteria present in pediatric …

Urine pH has been thought to be an important factor that can modulate kidney stone
formation. Nevertheless, there was no systematic evaluation of such pH effect. Our present …

To explore the roles microbiome of urinary tract played in calcium oxalate stones (CaOx)
formation, we collected two sides' pelvis urine of patients with unilateral CaOx stones to set …
