Effectiveness of Cranberry Ingestion on Bacterial Adhesion: An Adjunct Study
Completed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group
Conditions studied: Asymptomatic Bacteriuria
In brief
This study is to help determine if drinking cranberry juice can decrease risk for asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB). ASB occurs when there are bacteria in the urine without any symptoms. It will also see if there is a difference in this effect between pregnant and non-pregnant women.This research project is also designed to see what happens to bacterial binding to the lining of the bladder after drinking cranberry juice when special problems occur with pregnancy such as diabetes (a sugar metabolism problem) or ASB is already occurring.
