Episode 80 – Clarithromycin for Inflammation and Probiotics for Recurrent UTIs

Welcome back Rounds Table Listeners!

We are back today with our Classic Rapid Fire Podcast!

This week, Drs. Mike and John Fralick discuss two recent papers exploring the utility of clarithromycin for early inflammatory responses in pneumonia and the role of probiotics as prophylaxis in recurrent UTIs. Two papers, here we go!

1. Effectiveness of Prophylactic Oral and/or Vaginal Probiotic Supplementation in the Prevention of Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial (0:00 – 09:40).

2. Clarithromycin for early anti-inflammatory responses in community-acquired pneumonia in Greece (ACCESS): a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (09:40 – 16:40).

And for the Good Stuff:

• Extreme Alberta cold expected to shatter more temperature records (16:40 – 17:32).

• Left Field Brewery (17:32 – 18:39).
