TL;DR: In LTCF residents with high UTI risk at baseline, taking cranberry capsules twice daily reduces the incidence of clinically defined UTI, although it does not reduce the incidenceOf strictly definedUTI.

A Prospective Microbiologic Study of Bacteriuria in Patients with Chronic Indwelling Urethral Catheters
TL;DR: The very high prevalence of bacteriuria--virtually 100%--was a result of a high incidence caused by many different species combined with the prolonged residence of some gram-negative bacilli in the catheter and urinary tract.
