Cholera, a severe bacterial infection that causes diarrhea and kills if untreated, can be defeated with a diet high in protein, according to a new study from UC Riverside. Specifically, the study ...

The role that flies play in spreading cholera—a bacterial disease that causes severe diarrhea and dehydration—has been underestimated in Africa, which carries the largest burden of the disease.

A study suggests that diets high in certain proteins may reduce cholera infection by stopping the bacteria from spreading in the gut.

By Dr. Liji Thomas, MD New research reveals that what we eat, down to the type of dietary protein, can tip the balance ...

Natural antimicrobials called microcins are produced by bacteria in the gut and show promise in fighting infection. On the left, a Vibrio cholerae strain that produces the antimicrobial MvcC (center) ...

In regions where cholera is an endemic disease causing periodic seasonal outbreaks, the bacterial pathogen (Vibrio cholerae) lives between outbreaks in aquatic ecosystems such as coastal estuaries.

Cholera is caused by a water-borne bacterial pathogen called Vibrio cholerae that may be transmitted through the consumption of contaminated water or food. The rapidly developing, very contagious ...
