Transcriptomic Analysis of the Host Response and Innate Resilience to Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli Infection in Humans. Homo sapiens

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a globally prevalent cause of diarrhea. We report the first gene expression analysis of the human host response to experimental challenge with ETEC. Overall design: Gene expression analysis performed on whole peripheral blood RNA samples from subjects in whom severe symptoms developed and a subset of those who remained asymptomatic.
