Abstract

Infection stones are thought to develop in the urinary tract infected by urea-splitting bacteria such as Proteus species. However, urea-splitting bacteria are often not isolated from the urine or stones of the patients with infection stones. Micro-organisms not recovered by conventional bacterial cultures may be associated with stone formation.
