Antimicrobial Synergy between Aminoglycosides and Licorice Extract in .

is a foodborne pathogen that can develop serious invasive infections. Among foodborne pathogens, exhibits the highest case fatality despite antibiotic treatment, suggesting the current therapy should be improved.

Epidemiology of Enterotoxigenic infection in Minnesota, 2016-2017.
