In the United States alone, each year 11 million people, mainly women, are given antibiotics for urinary tract infections. Typically, women with bladder infections - especially those who are prone to frequent recurrences - are offered:
Usually, stronger antibiotics are given than for single, acute episodes of bladder infection (cystitis); after acute symptoms have subsided, prophylactic, or preventive, therapy with low-dose antibiotics is recommended. Besides antibiotics, normally employed in a trial and error fashion with varying degrees of success, medical treatments also include:
Doctors' Choices of AntibioticsAs urinary tract infections are extremely common, particularly in women, doctors in the United States write 2.45 million antibiotic prescriptions to treat them each year.
Bactrim and Septra
Trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole are both compounds that block the internal production of folic acid (folate) needed by most bacteria to survive. These compounds, relatively safe for humans, are lethal to many bacteria. Unfortunately, this inexpensive and quite effective, standard antibiotic for bladder infections is notorious for developing rash and allergies to it, frequently, life-threatening allergies. It is one of those famous sulfur drugs to which people have adverse reactions. Other side effects have been reported in virtually every organ system in the body, including the kidneys. Sulfa drugs may precipitate in the urine, producing crystals that can cause bleeding, urinary obstruction, or kidney damage. Septra also interacts with Dilantin, with methotrexate, and with anticoagulant medications; it should be used cautiously if these other drugs are being taken. Generic Bactrim also tends to disrupt the intestinal bacteria more than other drugs, such as Macrobid, and cause stomach upset. Maybe for this reason, in the past 10 years, fewer doctors prescribe a 10-day course of generic Bactrim or Septra, recommended by the Infectious Disease Society of America.
Keflex and Macrodantin
As you can see, in prescribing antibiotics, the risks and benefits must be always balanced!
Cipro and Marcrobid
An often-prescribed by obstetricians generic Marcrobid tends to have minimal negative effect on the intestine, as most of this drug is concentrated in the bladder. This trend may be due to doctors, adopting a new drug, believing it is the better drug. Therefore, it runs counter to the formal recommendations for drugs to be used first, such Bactrim, in the treatment of urinary tract infections. There are also differences between the medical specialties in prescribing antibiotics:
However, all antibiotics for urinary tract infections are normally employed in a trial and error fashion with varying degrees of success. Limitations of the Antibiotic TreatmentsUnfortunately, uropathogenic bacteria can survive after antibiotic treatment. For example, bladder infections caused by E. coli return in as many as 30 percent of women apparently "cured" by antibiotics. E. coli bacteria are able to survive antibiotic treatment for bladder infections by reverting to an inactive state. Although, within several days of antibiotic treatment, the number of bacteria reproducing drop to zero - NOT ALL the E. coli bacteria are killed. For example, after treatment with ciprofloxacin (Cipro)
After treatment with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim/Septra)
Even after a month of antibiotic exposure, about 10 million of the original 1 billion bacteria may remain. It is a well-known fact that antibiotic treatments:
Therefore, current standard drug treatments for bladder infections are not adequate and this phenomenon may account for many of the repeat urinary tract infections (in 15 percent of cases, bladder or kidney infections can become a recurring problem, or they can stop responding to the antibiotics). Drawbacks of the Antibiotic TreatmentsAlthough routinely used, antibiotic treatments have many drawbacks, such as:
Therefore, due to the hazards, especially of prolonged antibiotic therapy, the need for antibiotics used to clear up the infection, should be reduced, as ALL antibiotic therapies carry with them the risks of developing
Recurrent Bladder InfectionsFor many women - especially those over the age of 55 years or between the ages of 25 and 29 - repeated bladder infections can be a painful and frustrating battle.Women who have had three or more (3+) infections a year are likely to continue having them. In other words, they can get another infection within 18 months of the last one, or even more requently. Possible multiple factors behind recurrent urinary tract infections include:
Some women, however, have recurrent symptoms suggestive of urinary tract infection - but without infection being present. Although this condition is not serious, it can be troublesome. Because of the chance of kidney infection (pyelonephritis), repeated or chronic urinary tract infections should be treated thoroughly. E. Coli Uropathogenic BacteriaVarious harmless strains of E. coli are normally present in the body - but they do not belong in the urinary tract. The bacteria, however, have multiple little hairs called cilia that function like little feet that allow them to climb from the skin around the vagina, up the urinary tube, into the bladder. If E. coli get into the bladder or the urethra (tube that carries urine from the bladder), the body has ways of fighting them off - including the obvious methods of simply flushing them out with the urine. But these bacteria have evolved ways of anchoring themselves to the cells of the urinary tract. The invading E. coli take advantage of receptors naturally found on the cells of the mucosal lining of the urinary tract. (Receptors are like molecular "docking bays" for substances which the cells need for their normal growth and development). Like pirates in an old movie, E. coli use "grappling hooks", called type I pili, to first hook on to these receptors, and then to invade the cell.(These pathogenic "grappling hooks" are composed of long, fibrous chains of a molecular "glue" called adhesin). Once inside the cell, E. coli can live and reproduce in safety, shielded from many of the body's defensive immune responses. In fact, they are so sophisticated that when the body detects that cells have been infected and activates the cell suicide program to destroy the bacteria, E. coli can actually flee the dying host cell before it is flushed out, and look for new cells to invade! Survival Rate of E. Coli BacteriaE. coli return in as many as 30 percent of women apparently cured by antibiotics! They are able to survive antibiotic treatment for bladder infections by reverting to an inactive state. Within several days of antibiotic treatment, the number of bacteria reproducing drop to zero. Not all the E. coli bacteria are killed, though. After an antibiotic treatment, uropathogenic E. coli may be still present in a dormant state and linger in the urinary tract:
Even after a month of antibiotic exposure, about 10 million of the original 1 billion bacteria may remain in the urinary tract. Antibiotic treatment does NOT successfully kill all the bacteria participating in the infection and may, in fact, encourage many of the bacteria to persist in a resting state. Therefore, current standard drug treatments for bladder infections are not adequate and this phenomenon may account for many of the repeat urinary tract infections. New Antibiotic-Resistant Strain of E. ColiA newly identified, antibiotic-resistant strain of a common E. coli bacterium is contributing to an increase in relatively hard-to-treat bladder infections in women. The analyzed strain, resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, a popular two-drug antibacterial combination (Bactrim/Septra), shows a pattern of resistance to multiple antibiotics and has genetic characteristics called "virulence factors" that increase its ability to infect the urinary tract. Not much is known about how new strains of bacteria that infect the urinary tract arise and spread. There is also no evidence that the new strain of E. coli is causing any increase in kidney infections or other serious complications. It could be that this organism has been around forever and has now acquired resistance to several antibiotics. It could have been introduced, perhaps through contaminated food. The Natural Defense Systems Against BacteriaThe natural safeguards - bodily defense systems that protect the urinary tract against pathogenic, infection-causing bacteria include:

Bladder Infections in Paraplegia (SCI)Neurological conditions like paraplegia, a spinal cord injury, also called spinal cord impairment (SCI), usually result in a neurogenic bladder - an unstable or atonic bladder (with no muscle tone).People with spinal cord injuries have lost, partial or complete, control over their bladder and sphincter due to the compromised nerve receptors that are responsible for:
Due to this condition, most paraplegics are exposed to the regular use of catheters and drugs. (The more traditional cap and bag, with continual drainage, is falling from favor even though it is a safer system). However, catheters often increase the risk of the urinary tract injuries and repeated bladder infections - a common problem in people with spinal cord impairment. Exposed to repeated or long-term courses of antibiotics, in time, they also develop resistance to drugs what makes maintaining healthy urinary tract for them even more difficult. Good News: UTI Uribiotic Unisex FormulaContrary to a popular belief and common medical practice, people with spinal cord injuries or spinal cord impairment do NOT have to:
It is our clinical experience that paraplegics, expecially those who use catheters, can successfully remedy, and most importantly, prevent bladder-kidney infections with the help of our proprietary UTI Uribiotic Unisex Formula. Therefore, you, or someone you know or hold dear, who suffers from spinal cord injury, should give this superb herbal blend serious consideration. Our Clients Write to Us: Testimonial
