saying it not only helps cure painful bladder infections, including cystitis, but also helps prevent future outbreaks as well.
Given that bladder infections are one of the most common bacterial infections we face, some women keep a carton of cranberry juice in the fridge at all times, just in case.
A systematic review of studies published last year found that products containing cranberries reduced the risk of infection,
particularly in those who repeatedly had infections and those who drank the juice at least twice a day.

 Most research on the cranberry's effect on infections focuses primarily on its ability to prevent bacteria from attaching to a host cell.
If the bacteria can't stick to bladder cells they can't cause infections. But in recent years researchers at Mcgill University in Montreal have uncovered a new weapon that cranberries have against bacteria.
Motility is actually a really important factor in infection said Nathalie Tufenkji a chemical engineer at Mcgill University.
Proteus is this really aggressive swarmer commented Tufenkji which makes it particularly virulent in the urinary tract especially in catheterized patients who already have a high risk of infection.
When antibiotics are used to treat infections most bacteria are killed but in the process any survivors can become resistant to the antibiotic used against them.

and widely available and while it cannot be used for systemic infections (for pneumonia for instance or bacteremia) it has been used for open wounds.
The main culprit Staph aureus lives on our skin and can cause infection around catheters used during treatment of dialysis-related infections.
A total of 371 trial participants undergoing dialysis received either standard antibiotic therapy to prevent infection
The study found no significant differences in infection rates or deaths from infection between most people given the antibiotic
or people given honey. But for people with diabetes which is associated often with kidney disease the honey actually increased the risk of infection.
This is important because diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure so any therapy should work with normal and diabetic kidney dialysis patients.
While honey therapy was worse than antibiotics for diabetics the authors found the most important factor for preventing infection in all patients was how well the catheter was inserted and fixed.
There was no placebo control possible in the trial (where no treatment is given) as these infections are sometimes fatal.
and 9%of the patients treated with either therapy still died the bottom line is still that we need better therapies for bacterial infection whether natural or man-made.

which contributes to the virulence or severity of infection. The finding has important implications because P. mirabilis is the main bacterium behind UTIS caused by catheters in hospitals.

The researchers said they suspect the source of H7n9 infections to be poultry. This agrees with the result of a study published today
which points to poultry markets as the likely source of H7n9 bird flu infections. Other findings from the investigation of the 82 cases include:
The H7n9 viruses in the samples were very genetically similar to the viruses that have sickened people in China suggesting that poultry markets are a source of infections the researchers said.
Previously reports of infection with the H5n1 strain of bird flu were linked to poultry markets Webby said.
or that the markets are the only source of infection said Dr. Andy Pavia chief of the University of Utah's Division of Pediatric Infectious diseases and chair of the influenza advisory committee at the Infectious disease Society of America.
It's not clear that markets are the source for the great majority of infections we just don t know Pavia said.

1 in 6 Who Drink It Gets Sick On average one in six people who drink raw milk becomes ill with bacterial or parasite infections according to researchers at the Minnesota Department of health.
The researchers found 530 laboratory-confirmed cases of infections including bacterial infections from Salmonella E coli
and Campylobacter as well as parasitic infections called cryptosporidiosis among Minnesota patients who reportedâ drinking raw milkâ between 2001 and 2010.
However many cases of such infections aren't reported or confirmed in a laboratory. Based on known rates of underdiagnosing these infections the researchers estimated that 20502 Minnesotans
or 17 percent of raw milk consumers actually became ill during the study period after consuming raw milk according to the study published today (Dec 11) in the journal Emerging Infectious diseases a public health journal of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

or long-term diseases such as a nervous system disorder called Guillain-Barre syndrome or reactive arthritis which is inflammation in the joints that develops in response to an infection by bacteria Robinson told Livescience.
In the study about 20 percent of those who became sick developed a serious complication of bacterial infections called hemolytic uremic syndrome
 The researchers also found that cases of sporadic infections meaning they occurred in relative isolation as opposed to being part of an outbreak of infections may greatly outnumber the cases linked with outbreaks.
In fact the number of documented sporadic infections was 25 times greater than the number of cases that were part of an outbreak during the study period Robinson said.
They said the sporadic cases of infection that occurred in people who had consumed recently raw milk could not be linked definitely with the milk.
Pregnant women who drink raw milk may face a fivefold increase in risk of the parasite infection toxoplasmosis the doctors'group said;
and infection with bacteria called Listeria which are also found in raw milk has been linked with high rates of stillbirths preterm delivery as well as sepsis
The bacterial infections that come from raw milk often lead to diarrhea and stomach cramps. But for vulnerable people infections can have serious sometimes life-threatening consequences.
For example pregnant women unborn fetuses and newborns are 13 to 17 times more likely to develop severe illness because of listeria infection compared with other groups of people studies have shown.
And 20 percent of pregnant women who become infected with Listeria experience a miscarriage or stillbirth according to the AAP.
Two-thirds of infants whose mothers are infected with Listeria develop infections such as pneumonia sepsis or meningitis.
Substantial data suggest that pasteurized milk confers equivalent health benefits compared with raw milk without the additional risk of bacterial infections the researchers wrote in the statement.
