Probiotics effectively prevent UTIs
Effectiveness of Prophylactic Oral and/or Vaginal Probiotic Supplementation in the Prevention of Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial.
High relevance for UTI prevention
We evaluated how probiotics could help prevent recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in premenopausal women. In our study, 174 women were randomly assigned to different treatment groups, including a placebo and various probiotic combinations over four months. After tracking symptoms for a year, we found that using vaginal probiotics, alone or combined with oral ones, effectively reduced episodes of symptomatic UTIs. This suggests probiotics may be a promising non-antibiotic approach to managing recurrent UTIs.

Lactobacillus may help prevent infections
Exploration of the protein-dependent mechanism of Lactobacillus crispatus GAI98322 to prevent recurrent cystitis.
Moderately relevant findings on treatment.
We examined how the GAI98322 strain of Lactobacillus crispatus can help in preventing recurrent cystitis. Through tests on its cell-free culture supernatant, we found that it effectively reduces the growth and biofilm formation of various harmful bacteria, including E. coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

This action is facilitated by specific factors, which work independently of traditional antibiotics. While our findings highlight the potential of Lactobacillus in managing recurrent infections, further studies are essential to confirm its effectiveness in clinical settings.

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.

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.

Probiotics show promise against UTIs
Antimicrobial Potential of Probiotic Strains From Bulgarian Cheese and Shallot Yogurt Against .
Relevant study on UTI treatment
We investigated the effectiveness of probiotics sourced from Bulgarian cheese and shallot yogurt against common bacteria causing urinary tract infections (UTIs).

By isolating 100 strains from clinical samples and testing various probiotic strains, we found that certain probiotics showed encouraging antibacterial and antibiofilm activity.

Notably, strains M and B indicated strong antimicrobial effects without any harmful qualities. While these results are promising, we recognize that further research is essential to fully assess their therapeutic potential for UTIs.

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.

Dietary supplement improves UTI outcomes
Effects of a supplement associating strains and proanthocyanidin-rich plant extracts against recurrent uncomplicated, urinary tract infections: A prospective, controlled study.
High relevance for UTI treatment
We examined the effects of a specific supplement, combining Lactobacillus strains with proanthocyanidin-rich extracts from cranberry and cinnamon, on recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women.

In our controlled study with 80 participants over six months, we compared those taking the supplement to a non-supplemented group.

The results were striking: 64.9% of women on the supplement didn't experience any cystitis episodes, versus just 31.6% of those without. Additionally, the supplement significantly improved symptom severity and quality of life.
