| - Interventions | In trial A, 280 pre-menopausal women will receive either cranberry capsules (twice daily 500 mg) or standardized antibiotic treatment (once daily 480 mg trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole = TMP/SMX). In trial B, 280 postmenopausal women will receive either lactobacilli oral therapy ( twice daily a capsule with >10e9 Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1 and L. reuteri RC-14) or standardized antibiotic treatment (480 mg TMP/SMX). The “double-dummy”-method is used for blinding. Each patient receives 1 tablet and 2 capsules daily, but only one of them (the tablet or the capsules) contains the active substance. All study medication must be taken for the duration of 12 months. During the treatment period and the three months after stopping the treatment (wash-out period), each month patients have to fill in a short questionnaire and collect urine, faeces and a vaginal swab for culturing. |
| - Primary outcome | 1. The numbers of recurrences of symptomatic UTI; 2. Time to first occurrence of antibiotic resistance in urine or faeces. |
| - Secondary outcome | 1. Incidence of other infections; 2. Incidence of asymptomatic bacteriuria events; 3. Quality of life; 4. Costs per prevented UTI. |
