Effect of probiotics on urinary tract infections in children: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Based on this systematic review and meta-analysis, probiotics could be an alternative therapy for children who are at risk of developing a UTI. They are non-pharmaceutical options and could be used as natural prophylaxis for UTIs. However, the currently published evidence does not irrefutably confirm that probiotics provide a protective effect against urinary bacterial infections. Therefore, there need to be large-scale randomized clinical trials undertaken to investigate the possible prophylaxis of probiotics.PMID:35507743 | DOI:10.2174/2772432817666220501114505
