An estimated half of adult women will experience more than one urinary tract infection in their lifetime
. Ms. Yeomans is among the 3 per cent of women who suffer from recurrent UTIs, which occur multiple times a year. She estimates she gets them as often as once every three weeks.
UTIs are caused by one of several types of bacteria, E. coli being among the most common.
“The real objective would be to prevent these infections with sort of a safe and effective intervention,” he said. The vaccine contains several types of inactivated bacteria that commonly cause UTIs. By spraying it under the tongue daily over three months, very sensitive immune cells detect the dead bacteria and train the immune system, sending signals to other mucosal surfaces, including in the bladder, urethra and vagina, to produce an immune response to them. When the vaccine is taken daily over three months, these mucosal surfaces defend against infection.
It’s yet unknown how long the protection lasts. Ms. Yeomans’s infections returned after a year. She’s back on antibiotics, but hopes to receive another course of the vaccine since she’s worried antibiotics may eventually stop working for her. , Dr. Collier and his colleagues showed their vaccine, which comes in the form of a tablet that dissolves under the tongue, was as effective as antibiotics at protecting mice from UTI-causing E. coli.
