Testing chitosan for urinary tract infections
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special type of chitosan (a natural substance from shellfish) can be used to fight E. coli bacteria that cause urinary tract infections. It might help by preventing the bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract.
