    Abstract

    We repose of chronic cystitis associated with alkali urine, struvite stones and a subsequent vesicorectal fistula caused by Corynebacterium sp, probably Corynebacterium group D2. We also studied in vitro and in vivo stone formation caused by Corynebacterium renale isolated clinically. C. renale inoculated into normal human urine increased urine pH and formed struvite crystals after a 24-hr incubation. Bladder stones were also formed in rats experimentally infected by C. renale as well as P. mirabilis. Some urea splitting species of Corynebacterium such as C. group D2 and C. renale may play a role in the formation of human struvite stone.
