Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common bacterial infections in women. It is estimated that 1.6 billion dollars are spent on UTI treatment each year. Antibiotics have been the mainstay of treatment of UTIs, however frequent use has increased the prevalence of antibiotic resistant

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

Introduction Acute bacterial cystitis is a common and bothersome disease with a rapid onset nature. Uncomplicated cystitis occurs in patients without anatomical or physiological anomaly in the lower urinary tract. Although the infection is not life threatening in immuno-competent patients, the

Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) infection, a condition in which a large number of bacteria are present in the urine, often precedes the development of symptomatic UTIs. UTIs are common among women and may create complications during pregnancy. By incorporating cranberry juice into their diets,
