Kidney stone formation is a multifactorial disease in which the defence mechanisms and risk
factors are imbalanced in favour of stone formation. We have proposed a novel infectious …

Nanobacteria are unconventional agents 100-fold smaller than common bacteria that can
replicate apatite-forming units. Nanobacteria are powerful mediators of biogenic apatite …

Nanobacteria: An infectious cause for kidney stone formation. Background Nanobacteria are
cytotoxic, sterile-filterable, gram-negative, atypical bacteria detected in bovine and human …

Nanobacteria have been isolated from kidney stones and it has been suggested that they
may act as a nucleus for the initiation of the renal stones. In the present study, we examine …

The aim of this study was to detect, isolate and characterize the nanobacteria from human
renal stones from a north Indian population, and to determine their role in biomineralization …

Currently, only struvite stones are regarded as deriving from bacteria. Recent work has
suggested that calcium-based stones might also have an infectious origin. Nanobacteria …

" Infection Lithiasis" refers to calculi that occur with persistent urinary tract infection. Stones
