Summary

This early-stage study tests whether a harmless bacteria called Lactobacillus crispatus, when placed directly into the bladder, is safe and can reduce urinary symptoms and infections in adults with spinal cord injury who use catheters. About 40 participants will receive two bladder washes with either the bacteria or a saltwater solution and track their symptoms over several weeks. The goal is to find a new way to prevent UTIs without relying on antibiotics.
