Abstract :

UTI is very comman disease caused by E.coli, gram negative bacteria already present in intestine, Kidney and urinary tract. Alkaline condition favours the multiplication of bacteria. Presence of E.coli creats burning micturition, eargency of urine with trouble. Use of antibiotics and intake of excessive amount of water can cure it but leads some side effects.  various research reveal that colourful berries especially ‘Cranberry’ is highly efficient to cure Eicole infection. As it contains numerous natural products as ‘Antioxidants’, which boost our immune system along with anticlinging property thus prevents bacterial adhesion on the wall of  urinary tract as well as urinary bladder.

Keywords –   Antioxidants, anticlinging , proanthocyanidine.
