Oral spray vaccine prevents UTIs for up to 9 years

A UK study found an oral spray-based vaccine can prevent recurrent UTIs for up to nine years. Results are promising amid rising antibiotic resistance. MV140 vaccine, containing heat-inactivated bacteria, showed effectiveness in a long-term study. 54% remained UTI-free after nine years. MV140's safety and positive impact on patients' well-being were noted. Researchers are optimistic about the vaccine's potential as a game-changer in UTI treatment.
