Effect of Curcumin Against Proteus mirabilis During Crystallization of Struvite from Artificial Urine
We investigated the activity of curcumin against Proteus mirabilis and the struvite crystallization in relation to urinary stones formation. In order to evaluate an activity of curcumin we performed an in vitro experiment of struvite growth from artificial urine. The crystallization process was induced by Proteus mirabilis to mimic the real urinary tract infection, which usually leads to urinar...
متن کاملVitamin C inhibits crystallization of struvite from artificial urine in the presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
BACKGROUND Formation of struvite stones is associated with urinary tract infection by urease-producing bacteria. Biogenic crystal growth in natural and synthetic materials is regulated by the action of inhibitors, ranging from small ions, molecules to large macromolecules. MATERIALS AND METHODS We report the dynamics of in vitro crystallization of struvite in presence of vitamin C in syntheti...
متن کاملBiomimetic synthesis of struvite with biogenic morphology and implication for pathological biomineralization
Recent studies have found that certain urinary proteins can efficiently inhibit stone formation. These discoveries are significant for developing effective therapies for stone disease, but the inhibition mechanism of crystallization remains elusive. In the present study, polyaspartic acid (PASP) was employed as a model peptide to investigate the effect of urinary proteins on the crystallization...
متن کاملGrowth inhibition of struvite crystals by the aqueous root extract of Rotula aquatica.
Formation of urinary stone is a serious and debilitating problem throughout the world. In the present study, the inhibitory effect of aqueous extract of root of Rotula aquatica was investigated against struvite crystals (one of the components of urinary stone) grown in vitro using single diffusion gel growth technique. For setting the gel, sodium metasilicate solution (specific gravity 1.05) an...
متن کاملIn vitro and in vivo study of stone formation by Corynebacterium group D2 (Corynebacterium urealyticum).
Corynebacterium group D2 inoculated into normal human urine formed struvite crystals and an increase in pH and ammonium concentration after 24 h of incubation. Zinc disks dipped into a broth culture of this microorganism and inserted into the bladders of rats produced stones with a mean weight of 12.5 mg (ranging from 1 to 57.7 mg) after 12 days. Analysis of the infrared spectrum determined the...
