The Super Fruit Handbook: Cranberry Juice Alters E-coli Membrane
In the February 2006 edition of Biotechnology and Bioengineering, a published article from Terri Camesano from Worchester Polytechnic Institute Camesano showed that E. coli fimbriae exposed to cranberry juice become compressed. Fimbriae are tiny tendrils on the outer membrane of certain types of E. coli bacteria that is most responsible for the urinary tract infections. Since the fimbriae is compressed this prevents it from binding tightly to the urinary tract, thus greatly reducing its ability to remain in place long enough to begin a UTI.
