Anti-Entero Bacterial Activity of Herbal Extracts for Management of Diarrhoea
Abstract: Diarrhoea is a clinical symptom marked by rapid and frequent passage of semisolid or liquid fecal material through the gastrointestinal tract. Secretory diarrhea occurs when an imbalance between absorption and secretion in the small intestine occurs. Various causes can explain this condition including virus, parasites and bacteria. Enteric or diarrheal infections are major public health problems in developing countries. WHO estimates that diarrhoeal diseases inclusive of those caused by enteric pathogens account for about 2.2 million deaths each year, the primary victims being infants and young people. Enteric bacteria including Salmonella species, Shigella species, Proteus species, Klebsiella species, Escherichia coli, Psedomonas species, Vibrio cholerae, Staphylococus aureus are the major etiological agents for the sporadic and epidermic spread of diarrhoea both in adults and in children.
