To determine the prevalence and significance of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, biopsies of the antral mucosa were obtained from 139 patients and 43 asymptomatic volunteers. The specimens were examined by hematoxylin-eosin staining and the ureas test. The detection rate of H. pylori by histologic examination was 91.3% in patients with duodenal ulcer, 75.0% in those with combined duod...

In this study, we have investigated the current situation of Helicobacter pylori infection with a real-time PCR assay, our routine culture method, and a rapid urease test in Southern Denmark. 52 patients who came to gastric endoscopy examination on the two hospitals in Southern Denmark were taken to the study. All the biopsy samples were cultured and further examined for antibiotic resistance i...

Microorganisms are one of the important factors for urinary calculi formation. While urease-positive bacteria and nanobacteria contribute to stone formation, Oxalobacter formigenes rods play a protective role against the development of urolithiasis. Proteus mirabilis alkaline environment of the urinary tract and cause crystallization mainly of struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate). However, n...

The current study was designed to isolate and characterize urease-producing bacteria assess their ability precipitate calcium carbonate. Total eight were isolated from dung-rich soil samples collected Dakor, Gujarat. Out of these, two bacterial strains designated as DGDK-3 DGDK-4 found produce a considerable level urease in the initial screening on urea agar medium. Based morphological physiolo...
