Prevention of urinary tract infections

In order for the urinary tract to become infected, bacteria must first enter the urinary tract. The bacteria must adhere to the urinary tract lining.

Therefore, if we want to prevent bacterial urinary tract infections, focusing on adhesion is the first thing to consider. This is called Anti-adhesive therapeutics. Anti-adhesive therapeutics uses a protein molecule called adhesin on bacterial fimbria (FimH), especially E. coli bacteria, which is the most common cause of urinary tract infections, to attach to receptors on the urinary tract lining. Once attached, the bacteria will multiply and cause inflammation. Therefore, anti-adhesive…
