Crystalline material that blocked a patient's catheter after just 4 days.
Crystalline material that blocked a patient's catheter after just 4 days. The large coffin-shaped crystals were shown by X-ray microanalysis to be a form of magnesium ammonium phosphate (struvite), and the microcrystalline aggregates were shown to be calcium phosphate (apatite). A four-membered bacterial community was isolated from this crystalline biofilm composed of E. coli, P. aeruginosa, E. faecalis, and P. mirabilis.
