Effect and Analysis of Bacterial Lysates for the Treatment of Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections in Adults.

ABSTRACT: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a relevant public health problem, economically and socially affecting the lives of patients. The increase of antimicrobial bacterial resistance significantly hinders the treatment of UTIs, raising the need to search for alternative therapies. Bacterial lysates (BL) obtained from Escherichia coli and other pathogens have been used to treat different infectious diseases with promising results. This work aims to evaluate the effect and composition of an autologous BL for the treatment and control of recurrent UTIs in adults. The results show remission in 70% of the patients within the first three months after the administration of BL, while the infection is maintained under control for 6-12 months. The analysis by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS
