Role of swarming in the formation of crystalline Proteus mirabilis biofilms on urinary catheters.

Journal of medical microbiology - 1 Sept 2005

Jones Brian V, Mahenthiralingam E, Sabbuba N A, Stickler D J

Abstract excerpt

The care of many patients undergoing long-term bladder catheterization is frequently complicated by infection with Proteus mirabilis. These organisms colonize the catheter, forming surface biofilm communities, and their urease activity generates alkaline conditions under which crystals of magnesium ammonium phosphate and calcium phosphate are formed and become trapped in the biofilm. As the biofilm develops it...
