“…Even without identification of a definitive species, empirical glycopeptide use is allowed because C. urealyticum is resistant to most of antibiotics but usually sensitive to glycopeptide 3 . EC or EP is rarely caused by other urea‐splitting bacteria, such as Proteus mirabilis , Corynebacterium glucuronolyticum or Arcanobacterium pyogenes 11‐13 . In the case of hydronephrosis, drainage via a nephrostomy tube or ureteral stent should also be considered.…”

Abbreviations & Acronyms CRP = C-reactive protein CT = computed tomography EC = encrusted cystitis EP = encrusted pyelitis PNS = percutaneous nephrostomy PSL = prednisolone TUCL = transurethral cystolithotripsy WBC = white blood cell Correspondence: KatsuhiroIntroduction: Encrusted cystitis and pyelitis are a rare urinary tract infection characterized by mold-like calcification of collecting system. Here, we show a case of encrusted cystitis proceeding to pyelitis during a 1-month delay in diagnosis. Case presentation: A 73-year-old man developed hematuria and pain during micturition while he was being treated for granulomatosis with polyangiitis and lung abscess. Cystoscopy revealed calcification of the bladder wall, and an initial diagnosis of a bladder stone was made. While awaiting surgery, the bladder wall calcification extended to the renal pelvis on both sides, with renal failure. He underwent bilateral nephrostomy replacement and bladder irrigation with Solita T1 and was administered intravenous vancomycin. Calcification almost regressed after 4 weeks of treatment. Conclusion: Encrusted cystitis and pyelitis should be suspected if the patient shows alkaline urine and urothelial mucosa calcification. Appropriate treatment includes antibiotics, urine drainage, and chemolysis by bladder irrigation.We report a case of EC proceeding to pyelitis with renal failure during a 1-month delay in diagnosis. Early suspicion of the disease is necessary if the patient shows alkaline urine and urothelial mucosa calcification.

“…W grupie ryzyka są szczególnie osoby mające bezpośredni kontakt ze zwierzętami z racji wykonywanego zawodu, jak hodowcy czy lekarze weterynarii (60). U ludzi T. pyogenes wyizolowano z przypadków zapalenia wsierdzia (5,46,63), zakażenia dróg moczowych (28,78) oraz zakażeń układu pokarmowego, w tym ropni w jamie brzusznej i zapalenia wyrostka robaczkowego (28).

Gram-positive irregular rods from the genus Trueperella are opportunistic pathogens in animals, rarely causing infections in humans. Their pathogenicity is related to their adhesion properties, production of cytolysins, as well as ability to form biofilm and survive in host cells. Their pathogenesis and routes of infection are still poorly understood. In recent years, an increasing antimicrobial resistance has been noted in Trueperella spp., so the surveillance of the antimicrobial resistance of these bacteria seems to be very important. This study summarizes current knowledge about species belonging to the Trueperella genus, with a special focus on their pathogenicity and antimicrobial resistance.

“…It is distinguished from the resembling Corynebacterium diphtheriae and Corynebacterium jeikeium due to its inability to reduce nitrates into nitrites, its asaccharolytic characteristic and its urease activity, which is highlighted by the name “urealyticum.” Although only first described as the cause of EC in 1985 ( 6 ), CU is now universally recognized as the principal cause of EC and EP. Other urease-producing bacteria reported as causative agents of encrusted uropathy are Ureaplasma urealyticum , some Streptococcus (haemolyticus and viridans ) and Staphylococcus species, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus, Escherichia coli, Corynebacterium glucuronolyticum , and Arcanobacterium pyogenes ( 7 , 12 – 14 ).…”

Encrusted Uropathy: A Comprehensive Overview—To the Bottom of the Crust

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Encrusted uropathy is a rare subacute to chronic inflammatory disorder caused by infection with urease-producing bacteria, mainly Corynebacterium urealyticum. The disorder is characterized by urothelial deposition of struvite and carbonated apatite, resulting in encrustations and ulceronecrotic inflammation of the urothelium and surrounding tissues. Most commonly, encrusted uropathy is encountered in patients with predisposing conditions. The disease remains underdiagnosed. High urinary pH and negative conventional urine cultures should raise suspicion of the diagnosis. Prognosis is dependent on timely diagnosis and treatment installment, which consists of urological removal of encrustations in combination with urinary acidification and long-term antibiotic therapy.
