ABSTRACT
Urinary infectious stones are challenging due to bacterial involvement, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of these conditions. Antibiotic-resistant urease-producing bacteria further complicate clinical management. In this study, analysis of urine and stone samples from urinary tract infection (UTI) patients revealed microbial shifts, gene enrichment in stones, and metabolic pathway disparities; antibiotic resistance gene trends were phylum-specific, urease-producing bacteria are at risk of acquiring AMR carried by Enterobacteriaceae under antibiotic, emphasizing potential AMR dissemination between them; Correlations of key pathogenic species in kidney stone and urine microbial communities highlight the need for targeted therapeutic strategies to manage complexities in UTIs; Stones and urine contain a variety of deleterious genes even before antibiotic use, and piperacillin/tazobactam better reduced the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes in stones and urine. The presence of diverse antibiotic resistance and virulence genes underscores challenges in clinical management and emphasizes the need for effective treatment strategies to mitigate risks associated with UTIs and urinary infectious stone formation. Ongoing research is vital for advancing knowledge and developing innovative approaches to address these urological conditions.
