(Worcester Polytechnic Institute) Revealing the science behind the homespun advice, researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) have identified and measured the molecular forces that enable cranberry juice to fight off urinary tract infections. The data is reported in a paper published online, ahead of print, by the journal Molecular Nutrition & Food Research. The research illuminates the basic mechanics of E. coli infections, which has implications for developing new antibiotic drugs and infection-resistant materials for invasive medical devices.
