Copy and paste on this article
[edit]There are large swathes of direct quotation from "Klemm P, Schembri MA (March 2000). "Bacterial adhesins: function and structure". Int. J. Med. Microbiol. 290 (1): 27–35. doi:10.1016/S1438-4221(00)80102-2. PMID 11043979". While not detrimental I think it is potentially worth revising. NutterEldritch (talk) 10:47, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
Problematic section
[edit]A paragraph seems a plug for a study on cranberry juice: "Recent studies from Worcester Polytechnic Institute show that the consumption of cranberry juice may inhibit the action of UPEC adhesins. Using atomic force microscopy researchers have shown that adhesion forces decrease with time following cranberry juice consumption.[8] This research has opened the door to further exploration of orally administered vaccines which exploit bacterial adhesins."
Furthermore, the page Cranberry juice says pretty much that there is no proof that the juice helps with UTI. For consistency, one of the two has to change. I'd remove this paragraph here, as the other page is supported by a Cochrane review.
