Background: Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are a prevalent global health concern, often caused by bacterial pathogens such as Escherichia coli. Investigating natural substances for their potential as a treatment for UTIs has gained popularity in recent years.
Methods: This research focuses on the phytochemical characterization of Tea leaf extracts and the specific emphasis on catechin, a flavonoid known for its potent antioxidant and antimicrobial properties.
Result/Conclusions: The paper provides an in-depth analysis of the existing literature on the subject, highlighting the potential of catechin as a novel and effective treatment for UTIs.
