betaine and Urinary Tract Infections

betaine has been researched along with Urinary Tract Infections in 12 studies

glycine betaine : The amino acid betaine derived from glycine.

Urinary Tract Infections: Inflammatory responses of the epithelium of the URINARY TRACT to microbial invasions. They are often bacterial infections with associated BACTERIURIA and PYURIA.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Betaines were evaluated as potential antistaphylococcal agents for urinary tract infections."3.70Osmoprotective properties and accumulation of betaine analogues by Staphylococcus aureus. ( Chambers, ST; Lever, M; Peddie, BA; Randall, K; Wong-She, J, 1998)
" Since both urine and medullary renal tissue contain relatively low oxygen concentrations, these results raise doubts about the potential use of proline or glycine betaine analogues in treating urinary tract infections."3.69Sensitivity of Escherichia coli to proline analogues during osmotic stress and anaerobiosis. ( Cutler, KO; Deutch, CE; Reese, LM, 1996)
