Effect of Utipro ^® (Containing Gelatin-Xyloglucan) Against <i>Escherichia Coli</i> Invasion of Intestinal Epithelial Cells: Results of an <i>In Vitro</i> Study

Abstract

Results indicate that Utipro creates a protective physical barrier on intestinal epithelial cells in vitro which reduces the settling of E. coli reservoirs. These results constitute the first step in the demonstration of the efficacy of Utipro to prevent urinary tract infections. Further research is needed in in vivo models and clinical trials.
