متن کاملEscherichia Coli in Diarrheal Disease
Transmission is by the fecal-oral route. Pili (fimbriae) allow the bacteria to colonize the ileal mucosa. Cytotonic enterotoxins (encoded on plasmid or bacteriophage DNA) induce watery diarrhea. Plasmid-encoded invasion factors permit invasion of the mucosa, and plasmidor bacteriophage-encoded cytotoxic enterotoxins induce tissue damage; the presence of either of these factors induces a host in...

Entamoeba histolytica and Giardia lamblia are anaerobic protozoan parasites that cause amebiasis and giardiasis, two of the most common diarrheal diseases worldwide. Current therapy relies on metronidazole, but resistance has been reported and the drug has significant adverse effects. Therefore, it is critical to search for effective, better-tolerated antiamebic and antigiardial drugs. We synth...
متن کاملEpidemic Diarrheal Disease of Suckling Mice
1. The disease was almost certainly infectious. 2. Its eradication offered much greater practical difficulties than are presented by certain other infections of mice. 3. A definite tendency toward greater susceptibility in first litters as contrasted with subsequent ones was noted. 4. Advantage could be taken of this increasing resistance to keep the infected colony in efficient production, but...
متن کاملDoes Poor Water Quality Cause Diarrheal Disease?
Since the time of John Snow we have known that contaminated water can lead to outbreaks of waterborne disease. This association is commonly acknowledged by both the scientific community and the lay public. But among those who study water quality and diarrheal diseases, the association is muddied by many nuanced questions. For example, what is the relative contribution to the burden of diarrheal...
