Absence of Bacterial Imprints on Struvite-containing Kidney Stones: A Structural Investigation at the Mesoscopic and Atomic Scale

Objective Bacterial imprints are always observed on highly carbonated apatite kidney stones but not struvite kidney stones. Struvite and carbonated apatite stones with a high CO32– /PO43– rate are believed to develop from infections, but their structural differences at the mesoscopic scale lack expl...
