  5. * Diagnosis of interstitial cystitis or overactive bladder syndrome
  6. * Prophylactic antibiotics started in the last 3 months and unwilling to discontinue, or intention to start in the next 12 months
  7. * Use of Uromune or other vaccine approaches to reduce rUTI
  8. * Participation in a research study involving an investigational product in the past 12 weeks
  9. * Receipt of phage treatment
  10. * History of chronic diarrhea requiring regular therapy
  11. * Inability to swallow or known history of gastrointestinal malabsorption
  12. * History of recurrent vaginal yeast infections
