The Role of Ion Transporters in the Pathophysiology of Infectious Diarrhea

Abstract excerpt

Every year, enteric infections and associated diarrhea kill millions of people. The situation is compounded by increases in the number of enteric pathogens that are acquiring resistance to antibiotics, as well as (hitherto) a relative paucity of information on host molecular targets that may contribute to diarrhea.
