Summary
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a significant public health problem affecting more than 150 million people worldwide and causing a significant economic impact of approximately US$ 6 billion annually. It is one of the most common infectious diseases after upper respiratory tract infections. More than 50% of women and at least 12% of men will be affected by urinary tract infections in their lifetime. The probiotic supplement was delivered as easy-to-swallow capsules specifically prepared to maintain the viability and stability of the Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG strain throughout the research period. Participants were told to take the probiotic supplement with water to maximise absorption and efficiency, ideally after meals.
