We investigated whether a probiotic mix containing Lactobacillus acidophilus could prevent recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children aged 4 months to 5 years.
The study involved 181 children divided into two groups, one receiving probiotics and the other a placebo, over 18 months.
Results showed that the probiotic group had a lower recurrence of UTIs, with a composite cure rate of 96.7% compared to 83.3% in the placebo group. Overall, using this probiotic mixture may be a promising non-antibiotic option for UTI prevention in young children.

Natural option shows promiseRecurrent bacterial symptomatic cystitis: A pilot study on a new natural option for treatment.
Moderate relevance based on findings
We examined how a combination of D-mannose, Salicin, and Lactobacillus acidophilus could help those suffering from recurrent urinary tract infections caused by E. coli. During our study with 85 participants, we introduced this regimen over several weeks and surveyed symptoms through a bladder diary and a scale measuring pain levels.
The results were promising. Participants experienced notable reductions in pain and frequency of symptoms. However, while our findings indicate this approach could be beneficial, further large-scale studies are necessary to confirm its effectiveness.

Use of Lactobacillus against UTIsEfficacy of Locally Isolated Lactic Acid Bacteria Against Antibiotic-Resistant Uropathogens.
Significant potential against resistance
We explored how locally isolated Lactobacillus species could tackle antibiotic-resistant bacteria responsible for urinary tract infections. Our study involved screening lactic acid bacteria extracted from spoiled produce against various resistant pathogens.
The results were promising, showing that these lactobacilli had antimicrobial activity against six out of seven tested uropathogens. This suggests that using Lactobacillus may be a viable alternative in the battle against UTIs, helping to combat antibiotic resistance effectively.

We investigated how by-products from Lactobacillus rhamnosus can affect uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC), the bacteria commonly responsible for urinary tract infections (UTIs). Our findings revealed that lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and other compounds from these probiotics significantly inhibited the growth of UPEC.
Additionally, they reduced the production of proteins that help the bacteria cling to the urinary tract. This suggests that Lactobacillus rhamnosus and its by-products offer protective benefits against UTIs by combating harmful bacteria and reducing their ability to establish infections.

We explored the effectiveness of probiotic lactic acid bacteria, particularly Lactobacillus acidophilus, in preventing urinary tract infections linked to catheters.
Through a thorough study involving 120 catheterized patients, we tested various uropathogens and their ability to form biofilms.
Although probiotics showed promise in preventing catheter colonization in vitro, further research is necessary to confirm safety and efficacy in real-life settings.
This suggests a potential step forward in managing catheter-associated urinary infections.

Amazing! This was my first experience with this product and it truly was an overnight game-changer. I had been suffering from a stubborn yeast infection, but after just one night of use, it was gone!
Effectively treats infections
Five stars! This product is remarkable for difficult yeast infections. My health issues often lead to challenging yeast infections, especially when on antibiotics. This product has been incredibly helpful for me!
Works fantastically! I have been using this for over six months to combat chronic yeast infections, and it has truly made a difference in my condition.
