PCT No. PCT/GB93/01374 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 14, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 14, 1995 PCT Filed Jun. 30, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/00147 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 6, 1994Enzymes, especially proteolytic enzymes such as bromelain, have been found to inhibit the action of heat-labile toxin (LT) of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli. They are therefore useful in the prophylaxis, management and treatment of diarrhoea in humans.
