Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli

Infection with ETEC is the leading cause of travellers' diarrhoea and a major cause of diarrheal disease in underdeveloped nations, especially among children. ETEC is transmitted by food or water contaminated with animal or human faeces. Although ETEC causes a significant amount of illness worldwide, the infection will end on its own and is rarely life-threatening.
