DESCRIPTION:

BRIEF SUMMARY
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to treatment of traveller's diarrhea, including diarrhea caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC). More specifically, the invention concerns neutralization and removal of E. coli heat-labile toxin (LT) associated with ETEC. This invention also relates to prevention of ETEC, the causative agent of traveller's diarrhea from colonizing the intestinal tract.
