This Chapter deals with the complex problem of crystalline biofilms and encrustation of urological devices, in particular the threat that P. mirabilis represents. The Chapter provides an overviewof the strategies employed to overcome these problems, which for several decades were mostly focused on modification of the surfaces of urological devices.
