Probiotic catheters may prevent CAUTIs
3D-Bioprinted Urinary Catheters Enable Sustained Probiotic Recovery Under Flow and Improve Bladder Colonization In Vivo.
Highly relevant to CAUTI prevention
We explored the use of 3D bioprinted catheters to deliver Lactobacillus rhamnosus as a potential preventative measure against catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs). In our assessment, the bioprints successfully supported the growth and viability of L. rhamnosus under simulated urine flow conditions. Remarkably, this probiotic managed to colonize the bladder without causing tissue inflammation.

Our findings suggest that these bioprinted probiotic catheters could be a promising new approach to help combat CAUTIs, offering a safe and effective strategy to reduce pathogen colonization in urinary catheters.

Lactobacillus strains inhibit UPEC formation
Antibiofilm Activity of Kefir Probiotic Lactobacilli Against Uropathogenic (UPEC).
Highly relevant study findings.
We evaluated the effectiveness of Lactobacillus strains from kefir in preventing urinary tract infections caused by Uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC). This study involved testing twelve different Lactobacillus strains to see how well they could inhibit UPEC biofilm formation and their overall antimicrobial effects.

Interestingly, four of the strains showed a strong ability to inhibit biofilm formation by 62-75%. These results suggest that Lactobacillus may have promising applications in managing urinary tract infections, specifically through its ability to disrupt harmful biofilms.

Lactobacillus not effective for UTI
Lactobacilli vs antibiotics to prevent urinary tract infections: a randomized, double-blind, noninferiority trial in postmenopausal women.
Relevance scored moderate to low
We looked into how well Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1 and Lactobacillus reuteri RC-14 prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in postmenopausal women compared to the traditional antibiotic, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.

After a year, women taking antibiotics had fewer symptomatic UTIs than those on lactobacilli.

While lactobacilli did not help prevent UTIs as effectively, they were not linked to increased antibiotic resistance, making them a safer option for some women.

Fast relief
I kicked a stubborn yeast infection after trying multiple treatments and failing. Instead of antifungals, I turned to probiotics, which worked wonders. I’ve been using Femdophilus and it has provided almost immediate relief. I plan to continue with this long-term. Additionally, I've discovered another probiotic that boosts immunity, which is an additional benefit!

No infections since use
The capsules are small and easy to take. They are a legitimate lifesaver. This is the third bottle I have ordered in the past year. I have suffered from constant yeast and bacterial infections for the past six years, and nothing worked. After trying numerous treatments, I consulted a P.A. on 31st December 2015. She recommended this probiotic, claiming it effectively targets yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, and urinary tract infections. I decided to give it a try, and since starting it, I have not experienced any infections. I take one daily, and even if I occasionally forget, it still proves effective. It’s been nearly a year, and I remain proactive with another purchase. These capsules are easy on my stomach, accommodating my food intolerances. They are absolutely worth it.

Lactobacillus combats UPEC infections
Lactobacillus by-products inhibit the growth and virulence of uropathogenic Escherichia coli.
Study pertinent to UTI prevention
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.

Probiotic treatment reduces UTI recurrence
Efficacy of Probiotic Prophylaxis After The First Febrile Urinary Tract Infection in Children With Normal Urinary Tracts.
High relevance for UTI management
We investigated the impact of a probiotic treatment, including Lactobacillus rhamnosus, on preventing urinary tract infections (UTIs) in young children after their first febrile UTI.

In our study, 181 children aged 4 months to 5 years were randomly given either a probiotic mixture or a placebo for 18 months.

The results were promising, showing that the probiotic group had a higher UTI-free survival rate (96.7%) compared to the placebo (83.3%) and experienced a longer median time to recurrence.

Overall, probiotics, including Lactobacillus rhamnosus, seem to offer a beneficial alternative to reduce recurrent UTIs in children.

Probiotic GG enhances health outcomes
GG can protect malnourished children.
Probiotic relevance in malnutrition
We investigated how the probiotic GG could help malnourished children reduce infections and improve their overall well-being. In our study, 50 children received standard nutrition, while another 50 had the same diet plus GG for three months.

As we collected data on infection rates, we found that children taking GG experienced fewer upper respiratory and urinary tract infections. Additionally, this group saw better improvements in body mass index, compared to the control group.

It turns out, regular GG intake can significantly bolster health in malnourished kids.
