Heat-Stable Enterotoxins of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli and Their Impact on Host Immunity
8 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
(ETEC) are an important diarrhea-causing pathogen and are regarded as a global threat for humans and farm animals. ETEC possess several virulence factors to infect its host, including colonization factors and enterotoxins. Production of heat-stable enterotoxins (STs) by most ETEC plays an essential role in triggering diarrhea and ETEC pathogenesis. In this review, we summarize the heat-stable enterotoxins of ETEC...
