IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 3 (UPI) — Special proteins secreted by gut microbes may inhibit the bacteria known to cause salmonella, researchers at the University of California, Irvine suggest.
Salmonella is a disease characterized by intestinal inflammation, abdominal cramps, fever and diarrhea. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates the illness affects 1.2 million people in the United States. While few treatments are available, UCI researchers say their latest findings may lead the development of new approaches.
