Abstract

Background: Calcium-based urinary stones rarely grow bacteria on stone culture. The presence of an anaerobic bacteria is even more uncommon. We present a case of Veillonella growth from a primarily calcium phosphate-based urinary stone culture. Case Presentation: A 56-year-old Caucasian woman presented with urosepsis and bilateral nephrolithiasis. A nephrostomy tube was emergently placed in the left kidney. After resolution of her urosepsis, she underwent a left percutaneous nephrolithotomy. The stone culture grew Veillonella, a gram-negative anaerobe. Conclusion: Growth of anaerobic bacteria, such as Veillonella, on stone culture of a calcium-based stone is a rare occurrence; the mechanism of this association remains unexplained.

钙基结石石培养阳性细孔菌1例。
背景:钙基尿路结石很少在结石培养物上生长细菌。厌氧细菌的存在就更不常见了。我们报告一个主要由磷酸钙为基础的尿路结石培养的细孔菌生长的病例。病例介绍:一名56岁的白人女性表现为尿脓毒症和双侧肾结石。一根肾造瘘管被紧急置入左肾。尿毒症消退后,她接受了左侧经皮肾镜取石术。石培养物生长出一种革兰氏阴性厌氧菌Veillonella。结论:钙基结石培养物上厌氧细菌如细孔菌的生长是罕见的;这种关联的机制仍未得到解释。
