“…A study in 2005 showed in subjects who regularly drank cranberry juice an increase in urinary salicylicates, thus suggesting a possible local anti-inflammatory effect and a further probable mechanism of action (Duthie et al, 2005). The research demonstrated that besides the urinary antiseptic action, the cranberry possesses an antioxidant and radical scavenger (being rich in polyphenols) activity and an antibacterial action against many germs (recently it has been demonstrated as acting against H. pylori and S. mutans) (Gotteland et al, 2008;Koo et al, 2010).…”

Urinary tract infections (UTI) are common in childhood. In 30-50% of children with UTI the infections occur recurrently, especially in those with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), neurogenic bladder (NB), previous cystitis or pyelonephritis and malformative uropathies. To reduce the likelihood of UTI, antibiotic prophylaxis has been regarded as the therapeutic standard for many years. However, the disadvantage of long-term antibiotic therapy is the potential for development of collateral effects and resistant organisms in the host. Such reasons have induced scientists to search for alternative modalities of UTI prevention and have contributed to determining the increasing desire for "naturalness" of the population and preventing excessive medication. The use of cranberry fulfils these needs by potentially replacing or enhancing traditional procedures. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of cranberry in preventing UTI in pediatric populations. We searched Pubmed, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and Internet. Cranberry in patients with previous UTI was evaluated in three studies, cranberry in patients with VUR in three studies and four studies analyzed the efficacy of cranberry in children with NB. In seven of nine studies cranberry had a significant effect in preventing UTI.

“…The intake of fermented milk containing L. johnsonii NCC 533 without taking antibiotics resulted in the persistence of H. pylori but with a decreased inflammatory score (374) or breath test values (375). It was noted that heat treatment of L. johnsonii NCC 533 affects its therapeutic efficacy (376,377). Patients receiving a fermented milk drink containing L. casei Shirota displayed lower urease activity (378).…”

Anti-Infective Activities of Lactobacillus Strains in the Human Intestinal Microbiota: from Probiotics to Gastrointestinal Anti-Infectious Biotherapeutic Agents

SUMMARY A vast and diverse array of microbial species displaying great phylogenic, genomic, and metabolic diversity have colonized the gastrointestinal tract. Resident microbes play a beneficial role by regulating the intestinal immune system, stimulating the maturation of host tissues, and playing a variety of roles in nutrition and in host resistance to gastric and enteric bacterial pathogens. The mechanisms by which the resident microbial species combat gastrointestinal pathogens are complex and include competitive metabolic interactions and the production of antimicrobial molecules. The human intestinal microbiota is a source from which Lactobacillus probiotic strains have often been isolated. Only six probiotic Lactobacillus strains isolated from human intestinal microbiota, i.e., L. rhamnosus GG, L. casei Shirota YIT9029, L. casei DN-114 001, L. johnsonii NCC 533, L. acidophilus LB, and L. reuteri DSM 17938, have been well characterized with regard to their potential antimicrobial effects against the major gastric and enteric bacterial pathogens and rotavirus. In this review, we describe the current knowledge concerning the experimental antibacterial activities, including antibiotic-like and cell-regulating activities, and therapeutic effects demonstrated in well-conducted, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trials of these probiotic Lactobacillus strains. What is known about the antimicrobial activities supported by the molecules secreted by such probiotic Lactobacillus strains suggests that they constitute a promising new source for the development of innovative anti-infectious agents that act luminally and intracellularly in the gastrointestinal tract.

“…Interestingly, the decrease in colonization induced by the probiotic correlated with the levels of basal colonization before treatment (Cruchet et al 2003). In another study, the same probiotic strain, alone or combined with cranberry juice, was shown to eradicate H. pylori in 14.9 and 22.9%, respectively, of colonized children (Gotteland et al 2008). Similar rates of eradication were observed with S. boulardii in another trial .…”
