Protection of suckling mice from heat-stable enterotoxin of Escherichia coli by infant formulas.
Human milk contains factors that protect suckling infants against enteropathogen-induced diarrhea. One nonspecific protective factor found in human milk is a small molecular weight material that protects suckling mice from death due to the heat-stable enterotoxin of Escherichia coli. This study demonstrated that cow's milk and most formulas derived from cow's milk also contain a factor(s) that can protect against heat-stable enterotoxin of E. coli in suckling mice.
