Bacterial enterotoxins are associated with resistance to colon cancer.
One half million patients suffer from colorectal cancer in industrialized nations, yet this disease exhibits a low incidence in under-developed countries. This geographic imbalance suggests an environmental contribution to the resistance of endemic populations to intestinal neoplasia. A common epidemiological characteristic of these colon cancer-spared regions is the prevalence of enterotoxigen...
متن کاملReview of selected bacterial enterotoxins and their role in gastroenteritis.
The study of enterotoxins began in earnest approximately 30 years ago with characterization of the cholera toxin. So far, more enterotoxins have been associated with Gram-negative rather than Gram-positive bacteria. These substances can be roughly divided into the cytotonic variety, which primarily interfere with intestinal cell metabolism, and those which are cytotoxic, responsible for cell de...
متن کاملMechanisms of Secretory Diarrhea Caused by Bacterial Enterotoxins
Among the various factors that are known to initiate the pathophysiological events leading to chronic, intractable diarrhea of infancy are intestinal infections by bacteria. Such infections, furthermore, are particularly worrisome in malnourished infants, where they tend to result more often in protracted diarrhea necessitating vigorous and risk-laden supportive treatment.

متن کاملStaphylococcal Enterotoxins
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a Gram positive bacterium that is carried by about one third of the general population and is responsible for common and serious diseases. These diseases include food poisoning and toxic shock syndrome, which are caused by exotoxins produced by S. aureus. Of the more than 20 Staphylococcal enterotoxins, SEA and SEB are the best characterized and are also reg...

the other two agents in improving stool consistency and relieving urgency (Palmer et al., 1980). Side effects. Diphenoxylate causes more side effects than either codeine phosphate or loperamide. Both codeine and diphenoxylate cross the blood-brain barrier and may cause central-nervous-system side effects such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and depression. Loperamide does not usually cross the...
