Yeast Mannan Oligosaccharide Dietary Supplement In the Treatment of Chronically Acute Urinary Tract Infections: A Case Series

Abstract: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common bacterial infection experienced by women. Approximately 50 to 60% of all women in the United States will be diagnosed with UTIs at least once in their lifetime. Many of them develop recurrent infections; the frequency tends to increase with age. UTIs can be treated with antimicrobial drugs, although not without complications. The treatment of community-acquired UTI is becoming more complicated because of the increased incidence of multi-drug-resistant Escheri… Show more

“…Due to their exploitation in animal supplementation as prebiotics, scientific reports on MOS have focused on their impact on the gastrointestinal microflora and immune system of farm animals [ 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 ]. Studies on the effect of MOS in UTIs are scarce [ 41 ], with most reports focusing on the benefit of using D-mannose as a therapeutic agent against UTIs [ 25 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 ]. One of the mechanisms through which UPEC is capable of adhering to cells is mediated by a bacterial ligand specific to D-mannose (FimH) located at the tip of type 1 pili anchored to UPEC鈥檚 outer membrane [ 1 , 11 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 ].…”

“…Incubation periods were chosen considering that the majority of ingested mannose is filtered by the kidneys and excreted to the bladder via urine within 30 to 60 min [51] and that, although urinary frequency depends on a multitude of factors, it is commonly accepted that most Due to their exploitation in animal supplementation as prebiotics, scientific reports on MOS have focused on their impact on the gastrointestinal microflora and immune system of farm animals [36][37][38][39][40]. Studies on the effect of MOS in UTIs are scarce [41], with most reports focusing on the benefit of using D-mannose as a therapeutic agent against UTIs [25,[41][42][43][44][45]. One of the mechanisms through which UPEC is capable of adhering to cells is mediated by a bacterial ligand specific to D-mannose (FimH) located at the tip of type 1 pili anchored to UPEC's outer membrane [1,11,[46][47][48][49].…”
