Abstract
Lowering supersaturation with respect to struvite and carbonate apatite is the most important prophylactic measure in patients with infection-induced kidney stone disease. This is best achieved by combining culture-specific antibiotics with urinary acidification. Urinary infection with non-urease-producing Escherichia coli, probably promoting struvite particle formation, must be eradicated. Possible measures for improving urothelial anti-adherence properties or reducing bacterial adherence are discussed.
