ABSTRACT:
An extract prepared from plants of the genus Vaccinium, especially cranberries, which is enriched for an activity which inhibits bacterial adhesion to surfaces. The extract is also enriched for polyphenol and flavonoid compounds, lacks detectable amounts of simple sugars, has a very low content of benzoic acid relative to raw cranberries, and lacks significant amounts of anthocyanins. Methods for preparing and for using the extract are also disclosed.
