Mice with Streptozotocin-Induced Hyperglycemia are Susceptible to Invasive Enteric Bacterial Infection.

Diabetes mellitus and diarrhea are becoming increasingly burdensome worldwide, particularly in developing countries such as India. Diabetic patients are susceptible to infection with pathogenic bacteria, particularly those causing invasive enteric infections. In this study, we observed changes in the pathophysiological features of mice with streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemia.
