The Washington scientists are developing a vaccine against urinary tract infections

Washington scientists have begun development of a vaccine, the purpose of which will relate to the prevention of infections in the bladder. The main risk of infection appears during periods of use by the patient of the catheter. Every day use of a catheter makes the risk of infections, according to leading on the development of vaccines Professor. Monthly use of the catheter is almost 100% the cause of infectious diseases, into the bloodstream and can cause death later.

The main problem of the treatment of such infections, the increasing resistance of bacteria to antibiotic drugs nature. So, every year increases the demand for vaccines preventing the appearance of infections in General. In the process of animal studies, scientists have demonstrated his theory and demonstrated the occurrence of infections when using catheters. The main weapon against infections from scientists – fibrinogen, a protein that prevents the formation of infections. With the help of this protein on the surface of the catheter will form a protective film that protects the body of the patient.
