Substances, contained in cranberry juice, can protect human organism from bacillosis and replace antibiotics, turning to be less efficient because of increased resistibility of pathogenic bacteria, in future.
 
During years of researches scientists could finally reconstruct biochemical mechanisms, underlying in numerous wholesome qualities of cranberry juice.
 
American scientists presented results of another research on an annual conference in San Francisco.
Cranberry juice’s ability to prevent bacillosis and, in particular, urinary tract infections, is known quite well, however, nature of its biochemical interactions have been unknown for a long time.
 
During previous researches a group of scientists came to a conclusion, that substances - tannins, contained in cranberry juice, change structure of pathogenic organisms’ cell membrane’s appendixes. Under their influence numerous flagellums of bacteria shorten and lose mobility, what significantly complicates the process of bacteria attaching to epithelial cells of urinary tracts.
 
During a new research it was established that under the influence of tannins E. Coli bacterium changes not only shape of its flagellums, but also a structure of membrane itself, and also form, turning from a stick to a ball. Moreover, tannins deprive E. Coli of its ability to produce a substance indole, taking part in exchange of signals between bacteria of one kind. All these metamorphoses reduce viability of pathogenic bacteria and complicate their introduction into tissues of affected organism.
