Abstract

Urinary stone cultures have been extensively studied in the past, with regards to their impact on the occurrence of postoperative SIRS/urosepsis, in patients undergoing surgery for upper urinary tract stones. Common bacteria isolated in studies done on urinary stone cultures, are Pseudomonas, Proteus, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella. Pseudomonas mosselii is a soil pathogen that protects plants from fungal and bacterial infections through production of varying metabolites and was rst clinically isolated in France, in 2002, and deemed an opportunistic human pathogen [3,4]. In this case report, we highlight the rst case in medical literature regarding the occurrence of an unusual organism Pseudomonas mosselii in a renal stone culture, which, to the best of our knowledge, has not been reported in the literature so far.
