Urease-positive organisms produce the enzyme urease, which hydrolyzes urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide, increasing the pH of their environment. This enzyme aids bacterial survival and virulence, especially in the urinary tract and stomach. Common urease-positive organisms include Proteus, Klebsiella, Helicobacter pylori, Ureaplasma, Nocardia, Cryptococcus, and Staphylococcus saprophyticus.

Detection of the most frequently bacteria involved in prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is usually performed by conventional cultures. We report a case…

In the realm of neonatal infectious diseases, a groundbreaking study has emerged, shedding light on how two closely related bacterial species provoke distinct inflammatory responses in newborns and human epithelial cells. This discovery comes at a pivotal time as neonatal infections continue to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, often complicated by the dual presence of Ureaplasma species in the urogenital tract.

Dlouho se vedly spory o tom, zda infekce bakterií Ureaplasma parvum během těhotenství skutečně poškozuje vyvíjející se mozek. Některé studie souvislost prokazovaly, jiné nikoliv. Tým vedený doktorandkou Dimou Abdu proto zkoumal, zda různé podtypy této bakterie mohou mít rozdílný vliv.
