In both matrices, increasing concentration substantially reduced the extent of urea hydrolysis, with only 1–20% of urea converted at the highest investigated CFs. Suppression of urease activity ...

Altered mental status. When P mirabilis infects the bladder, it can quickly cause urolithiasis (bladder or kidney stones). Up to 70% of bacteria isolated from patients with bacteria-induced stone ...
