| Bordello et al. were the first to demonstrate C. perfringens enterotoxin with high counts of toxigenic organisms in patients with diarrhoea after antibiotic treatment. |
| The enterotoxin binds to a receptor on the cells of the lining of the small intestine. |
| Pathogenic O1 and O139 V. cholerae have the ability to produce cholera toxin, a type of enterotoxin that affects intestinal cells. |
| Secretory diarrhoea is a common disorder in developing countries, where pathogens that produce enterotoxin such as enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli are endemic. |
| Given suitable conditions it is capable of growth in foods, and some strains may produce a heat-stable enterotoxin. |
| And at the NRL, Cy Tamanaha has had similar success detecting ricin, staphylococcal enterotoxin B and other potential bioweapons. |
