Characterization of the pathophysiological determinants of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli infection using a challenge model in healthy adults
Abstract An experimental human challenge model with an attenuated diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) strain has been used in food intervention studies aimed to increase resistance to E. coli infection. This study was designed to refine and expand this challenge model. In a double-blind study,...
