Introduction: Encrusted cystitis and pyelitis share many similarities regarding etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment. These processes usually occur on previously injured urological tissue with the participation of an infection by urease-producing bacteria. At present Corynebacterium urealyticum, a highly antibiotic-resistant bacteria, appears to be the pathogen most often involved in these processes. In this review we analyze the history of these diseases with special emphasis on the scientific advances of the last century. We also review the role of urease and bacterial infection as well as a brief update on the epidemiological, histopathological, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects. Relevance: The importance and severity of these pathologies that are frequently underdiagnosed and difficult to treat are stressed. Conclusions: The clinical history, exploratory and analytical data, which highlight alkaline urine, sometimes with an ammoniacal odor, pyuria, hematuria and the presence of magnesium ammonium phosphate crystals, should alert the urologist to the existence of an encrusting uropathy. Simple radiology, ultrasound, computed tomography and endoscopic visualization of the lesions confirm the diagnosis. Treatment generally requires surgery, use of antibiotics, urinary acidifiers and bacterial urease inhibitors. Keywords: cystitis, pyelitis, encrustations, infection

“…Among them, the pathogenic bacterial species with relatively high abundance at each site were Corynebacterium, Lactobacillus, Acinetobacter, Bi dobacterium, Staphylococcus, Sphingomonas, Flavobacterium, etc. Corynebacterium can parasitize the human nasal cavity, throat, conjunctiva, and skin, and is generally non-pathogenic and mostly conditionally pathogenic 35,36 . The relative abundance of pathogenic bacteria in the A-HU, W-HU, A-WU, A-WU*, A-ER, A-ER*, W-ER, and A-XI sites was 3.29%, 4.12%, 7.15%, 12.44%, 15.78%, 8.01%, 3.00%, and 9.01%, respectively.…”

In most economically underdeveloped areas, scattered farming and cohabitation of humans and livestock are still common. However, the production and harm of bioaerosol in these areas have not received considerable attention. In this study, bioaerosol characteristics were analyzed in scattered farming in rural areas of Northwest China. The results showed that the highest concentrations of bacteria, fungi, and Enterobacteria were 125609 ± 467 CFU/m³, 25175 ± 10305 CFU/m³, and 4167 ± 592 CFU/m³, respectively; most of the bioaerosols had particle sizes larger than 3.3 µm. 71 bacterial genera and 16 fungal genera of the potential pathogen were identified, and some zoonotic potential pathogenic genera such as Bacillus, Campylobacter, Alternaria, Aspergillus, and Penicillium were found among them. The potential exposure risk was estimated using the average daily dose rate assessment method. While the risk values are higher for adults, the potential exposure risks may be higher for left-behind children and the elderly. Moreover, our findings showed that the scattered farming pattern of human-animal coexistence can affect the indoor air environment in the surrounding area, leading to chronic respiratory diseases in the occupants. Therefore, the corresponding government departments and farmers should enhance their awareness of bioaerosol risks to reduce the incidence of infection.
