We explored the effectiveness of a probiotic mix, including Lactobacillus acidophilus, in preventing recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children. In a study involving 181 children aged 4 months to 5 years, half received the probiotics while the other half received a placebo over 18 months.
The results were significant. The probiotic group had a higher percentage of UTI-free patients and a longer median time before recurrence compared to the placebo group. This indicates that probiotics could be a helpful non-antibiotic option for preventing UTI recurrences in young children.

Probiotics as effective as antibiotics
We examined the role of probiotics in preventing urinary tract infections (UTIs) among children with persistent primary vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). In a well-structured study, 120 children were randomly split into two groups—one receiving Lactobacillus acidophilus and the other conventional antibiotics.
The results showed no significant difference in UTI recurrence rates between the probiotics group (18.3%) and the antibiotics group (21.6%). Further analysis, considering various factors, revealed that probiotics did not outperform antibiotics. In short, using probiotics for UTI prevention in these children appears equally effective as the traditional antibiotic approach.

We examined how single and mixed probiotic strains affect common urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by E. coli and E. faecalis. Through various tests, we found that all probiotic types could inhibit these pathogens. While L. acidophilus and L. fermentum were particularly effective, we discovered that mixed probiotics did not significantly outperform individual strains. This suggests that probiotics can potentially help in reducing UTIs by preventing pathogen growth, although their effectiveness in mixtures isn’t markedly superior to single strains.

Effective probiotic

Excellent. A truly effective probiotic that delivers on its promise. My gastrointestinal tract quickly returned to normal after taking it. A bottle of 100 capsules lasts quite a while, and I recommend taking it for about 2-3 months continuously. The results have been impressive for a probiotic at this price.

We aimed to investigate how a combination of D-mannose, Salicin, and Lactobacillus acidophilus affects recurrent urinary tract infections caused by E. coli. Our study involved 85 patients, assessing their symptoms before and after an eight-week treatment period. By the end, participants reported a significant reduction in pain and frequency of symptoms.
While our results are promising, showing improvements in urinary symptoms, we acknowledge that further research is necessary to fully validate these findings. Thus, though acidophilus appears beneficial, more extensive studies could enhance our understanding.

We explored if Lactobacillus probiotics could prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs) by inhibiting harmful bacteria. Our study tested three strains—Lactobacillus salivarius, L. plantarum, and L. acidophilus—against various uropathogens' ability to stick to bladder cells.
The results revealed that L. salivarius and L. acidophilus showed promising inhibition rates, effectively reducing uropathogen adherence by up to 53.7%. Meanwhile, L. plantarum did not exhibit significant anti-adherence effects. These findings suggest that specific Lactobacillus strains might help in UTI prevention.

We examined the potential of locally isolated Lactobacillus species in fighting antibiotic-resistant bacteria linked to urinary tract infections (UTIs). Our study involved lactic acid bacteria sourced from spoiled fruits and vegetables, which showed significant antimicrobial activity against six out of seven tested pathogenic bacteria.
Specifically, strains like L. fermentum and L. plantarum demonstrated impressive abilities to inhibit growth of harmful E. coli and E. faecalis. These findings suggest that Lactobacillus could be a promising option for controlling UTIs, especially in the face of increasing antibiotic resistance.

After kindergarten, my child suffered from diarrhoea. I gave him 2 capsules of probiotics, and soon the loose stools stopped. The following morning he took one capsule, and his stool returned to normal. I strongly believe that probiotics played a significant role in restoring his gastrointestinal tract.

Supports urinary health

Lactic acid bacteria not only regulate flora but may benefit the nerves. It’s suggested that it helps with any urinary system inflammation, and I have noticed I don’t urinate frequently after taking it, which positively affects my energy. Thank you; it’s worth trying!

Probiotics show no significant UTI prevention
We explored the potential of Lactobacillus acidophilus as a preventive treatment for urinary tract infections in infants with primary vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). In our study, 128 infants were split into two groups—one receiving probiotics, the other antibiotics—over one year.
While we observed a slightly lower incidence of recurrent UTIs in the probiotic group (32.8%) compared to those on antibiotics (40.6%), these results were not statistically significant. There were also no differences in the development of antibiotic-resistant infections between the groups.
This suggests that probiotics may offer a natural preventative approach, though further research is needed to establish clear benefits.

We explored the role of Lactobacillus acidophilus in preventing urinary tract infections (UTIs) through a review of various studies. There’s evidence suggesting that weekly intravaginal therapy with this probiotic can help lower the recurrence of uncomplicated UTIs in women. Though results are mixed, the unique adherence abilities and competitive exclusion effects of Lactobacillus are promising. Despite these findings, more human trials are necessary to fully understand its long-term benefits in UTI prevention.
