Abstract
Administration of reamberin leads to rapid reduction of the intoxication symptoms, improves general condition, and reduces fever stage duration. The dynamics of inflammatory symptoms is characterized by decreasing duration of hemocolitis in comparison that in patients receiving glucose-salt solution...

Zinc deficiency results in dysfunction of both humoral and cell-mediated immunity and increases the susceptibility to infection. Supplementation of zinc has been shown to reduce the incidence of infection as well as cellular damage from increased oxidative stress. Zinc deficiency is also associated...

Abstract
Traveller's diarrhoea (TD) constitutes the most common disease relevant to travel medicine with ETEC as the leading causative pathogen. Cholera is the most serious, but very rare form of TD. ETEC and cholera share pathogenic mechanisms by producing a toxin that has an 80% amino acid homology. A cons...

We mutated three genes at this locus. All the mutants maintained the aggregative phenotype in the liquid phase. However, the insertional mutant of shf formed a less abundant biofilm in a microtiter plate assay than did the wild type, while the capU mutant and the virK mutant did not. The complementa...
