Abstract
This prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind pilot trial examined the efficacy of bacterial interference in preventing urinary tract infection (UTI) in 27 patients with spinal cord injury. Patients whose bladders became colonized with Escherichia coli 83972 were half as likely (P=.01) than noncolonized patients to develop UTI during the subsequent year.
