Cranberry feeding and a bacterial adhesion assay in cats
Direct · cat. Six neutered cats in a blinded dietary crossover experiment.

Limitations: Six cats and short periods; ex vivo adhesion outcome rather than clinical infection. Cranberry extracts and other preparations were not established as equivalent to the powder.
