| encrusted uretero-pyelitis: case report. | encrusted uretero-pyelitis is a rare and serious disease, related to the presence of calcifications in the pelvicalyceal system and ureter, associated with chronic urinary tract infection. in most cases, the causal agent of this infection lithiasis is corynebacterium urealyticum. the specific aspect of calcifications on ct scan can help to suggest diagnosis. to avoid a delay in diagnosis (which is frequent), an accurate exploration by the bacteriologist is crucial. the combination of a glycopept ... | 2016 | 27335796 |

| corinebacterium urealyticum: increased incidence of infection and encrusted uropathy. | corynebacterium urealyticum (cu) affects patients who are immunosuppressed, chronically ill or have undergone numerous operations. obstructive uropathy (ou) is a complication of infection. | 2016 | 26585531 |
| the pathology of aging 129s6/svevtac mice. | the 129 mouse strain is commonly used for the generation of genetically engineered mice. genetic drift or accidental contamination during outcrossing has resulted in several 129 substrains. comprehensive data on spontaneous age-related pathology exist for the 129s4/svjae substrain, whereas only limited information is available for other 129 substrains. this longitudinal aging study describes the life span and spontaneous lesions of 44 male and 18 female mice of the 129s6/svevtac substrain. media ... | 2016 | 26467077 |
| complete genome sequence of the type strain corynebacterium mustelae dsm 45274, isolated from various tissues of a male ferret with lethal sepsis. | the complete genome of corynebacterium mustelae dsm 45274 comprises 3,474,226 bp and 3,188 genes. prominent niche and virulence factors are spabca- and spadef-type pili with similarity to pilus proteins of corynebacterium resistens and corynebacterium urealyticum and an immunomodulatory endos-like endoglycosidase probably catalyzing the removal of distinct glycans from igg antibodies. | 2015 | 26358597 |

| corynebacterium urealyticum: a comprehensive review of an understated organism. | corynebacterium urealyticum is a gram positive, slow-growing, lipophilic, multi-drug resistant, urease positive micro-organism with diphtheroid morphology. it has been reported as an opportunistic nosocomial pathogen and as the cause of a variety of diseases including but not limited to cystitis, pyelonephritis, and bacteremia among others. this review serves to describe c. urealyticum with respect to its history, identification, laboratory investigation, relationship to disease and treatment in ... | 2015 | 26056481 |
| genome informatics and vaccine targets in corynebacterium urealyticum using two whole genomes, comparative genomics, and reverse vaccinology. | corynebacterium urealyticum is an opportunistic pathogen that normally lives on skin and mucous membranes in humans. this high gram-positive bacteria can cause acute or encrusted cystitis, encrusted pyelitis, and pyelonephritis in immunocompromised patients. the bacteria is multi-drug resistant, and knowledge about the genes that contribute to its virulence is very limited. two complete genome sequences were used in this comparative genomic study: c. urealyticum dsm 7109 and c. urealyticum dsm 7 ... | 2015 | 26041051 |
| successful treatment of corynebacterium urealyticum encrusting cystitis with systemic and intravesical antimicrobial therapy. | a 6-year-old saint bernard dog was diagnosed with encrusting cystitis caused by corynebacterium urealyticum. the infection persisted despite the prolonged use of antimicrobials and surgical debridement of the urinary bladder. resolution occurred following intravenous vancomycin, urine acidification, and intravesical gentamicin. the challenges involved in the treatment of encrusting cystitis are described. | 2015 | 25969578 |
| encrusted cystitis secondary to corynebacterium glucuronolyticum in a 57-year-old man without predisposing factors. | encrusted cystitis is a rare condition characterized by encrustation of the bladder mucosa with associated chronic inflammation induced by urea-splitting bacterial infection--most commonly, corynebacterium urealyticum. moreover, it usually occurs in immunocompromised patients, especially recipients of renal transplants or patients with a history of previous urological procedures. due to the rarity of the entity and the slow growth of corynebacterium species, appropriate treatment is often delaye ... | 2015 | 25918192 |
| [urinary calculi and infection]. | infection urinary stones resulting from urease-producing bacteria are composed by struvite and/or carbonate apatite. bacterial urease splits urea and promotes the formation of ammonia and carbon dioxide leading to urine alkalinization and formation of phosphate salts. proteus species are urease-producers, whereas a limited number of strains of other gram negative and positive species may produce urease. ureaplasma urealyticum and corynebacterium urealyticum are urease-producers that are not isol ... | 2016 | 24874306 |
| carbonate apatite nephrolithiasis associated with corynebacterium urealyticum urinary tract infection in a dog. | urinary tract infections caused by corynebacterium urealyticum are uncommon in veterinary medicine. encrusted cystitis, encrusted pyelitis and uroliths have been described as complications in humans, but only encrusted cystitis and cystoliths have been reported in dogs so far. because c. urealyticum is usually resistant to all standard antibacterial drugs, antimicrobial treatment and elimination of this microorganism are challenging. | 2014 | 24766046 |
| nephrolithiasis by corynebacterium urealyticum infection: literature review and case report. | alkaline-encrusted cystitis or pyelonephritis is a chronic inflammatory condition due to deposition of crystals usually caused by urea-splitting bacteria. corynebacterium urealyticum (cu) is a gram-positive, urea-splitting and multi-antibiotic resistant bacillus with special tropism for the urinary tract and it is often associated with encrusted pyelocystitis. | 2014 | 24563271 |
| complete genome sequence of corynebacterium urealyticum strain dsm 7111, isolated from a 9-year-old patient with alkaline-encrusted cystitis. | corynebacterium urealyticum is a common skin colonizer with potent urease activity. it is clinically recognized as an opportunistic pathogen causing urinary tract infections. the annotated genome sequence of strain dsm 7111, isolated from the urine of a young boy with an ectopic kidney, provides new insights into the pathomechanisms of this bacterium. | 2013 | 23704183 |
| encrusted cystitis. | we report a case of a patient who developed encrusted cystitis after transurethral resection of the prostate. this rare urological condition is characterized by intramucosal calcifications and is commonly preceded by urological instrumentation. urea-splitting bacteria, most commonly corynebacterium urealyticum, are the causative pathogen. treatment is a combination of antibiotics, urine acidification, and endoscopic removal of encrustations. | 2012 | 22386439 |
