[D-mannose for prevention and treatment of lower urinary tract infection: pathogenetic basics and clinical results].

Abstract

Non-antibacterial methods of prevention and treatment of lower urinary tract infection are described in the article. The current view on the mechanism of treatment effect of D-mannose is presented, which contributes to the prevention of bacterial invasion. Pathogenetic concepts for using D-mannose as specific antiadhesin or a competitive blocker of bacterial invasion is provided. In addition, we discussed the results of basic and clinical studies, proving the efficiency of D-mannose for prevention and treatment of lower urinary tract infection.
