Approximately 2000 years later, Marcet noted the combination of phosphate calculi with alkaline, ammoniacal urine, and putrefecation.^{53 Griffith D.P., Osborne C.A.

In 1901, Brown^{15 Brown T.R. On the relation between the variety of microorganisms and the composition of stone in calculous pyelonephritis JAMA 1901 ; 36 : 1394-1397

His six patients' stone analyses revealed “phosphates and carbonates of calcium and magnesium.” All six patients had Proteus vulgaris isolated from urine cultures.^{15 Brown T.R.
