What is LT-producing ETEC diarrhea?
Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) is one of the most common causes of diarrhea for travellers to many parts of the world. ETEC produces two toxins: a heat-stable toxin (ST) and/or a heat-labile toxin (LT).
If you eat food or drink water or ice that is contaminated with LT-producing ETEC, you are at risk of getting LT-producing ETEC diarrhea.
What is cholera?
Cholera is an infectious disease of the intestines that is acquired by consuming water or food that has been contaminated by the bacteria Vibrio cholerae. Cholera can cause severe diarrhea and dehydration.

What is DUKORAL®?
A drinkable vaccine! It’s the ONLY oral (drinkable) vaccine available that provides you with protection against diarrhea caused by BOTH a particular strain of bacteria producing a heat-sensitive toxin (called heat-labile toxin producing enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli or LT-producing ETEC) AND cholera.
