Randomized controlled trial, aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 16666/ATCC 55845 & Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 for the treatment of pregnant women with asymptomatic bacteriuria or uncomplicated acute cystitis. As primary outcome we will evaluate the number of cases with
Each subject was enrolled after providing a baseline urine specimen. Cranberry/placebo capsules were consumed for 30 days. Urine specimens were obtained weekly for 4 weeks.
Cranberry products represent a novel, non-antimicrobial method for prevention of UTI. There is evidence for a plausible mechanism and efficacy for UTI prevention in healthy premenopausal women. Limited clinical studies of cranberry products in elderly men and women have demonstrated reductions in
This study is an adjunct to a proposal the premise of which is daily cranberry ingestion during pregnancy may be an effective preventative approach to development of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB), a condition which predisposes to both preterm birth and upper urinary tract infection. We proposed to
