In Vitro Analysis of the Bactericidal Activity of Escherichia Coli Nissle 1917 Against Pediatric Uropathogens

Nissle 1917, the active agent in Mutaflor, inhibited or out competed most bacterial isolates. These mechanisms could be used in vivo to eradicate uropathogens from the gastrointestinal tract. Further study is needed to determine whether Mutaflor can prevent recurrent urinary tract infections in children.
