Role of the enteric nervous system in antibiotic associated diarrhoea

该项目将确定肠道自身神经系统在腹泻中所起的作用，这种腹泻通常与抗生素治疗有关。这种类型的腹泻在医院很常见，如果没有得到充分治疗，可能致命。了解神经系统在这种疾病过程中的作用以及一旦腹泻建立后神经系统功能的变化将指向特定的治疗和预防手段，以减少抗生素治疗的负面副作用。

This project will identify the role played by the gut's own nervous system in the diarrhoea that is often associated with antibiotic treatment. This type of diarrhoea is common in hospitals and can be fatal if not adequately treated. Understanding the role of the nervous system in this disease process and the changes in nervous system function once diarrhoea is established will point to specific treatments and means of prevention to reduce negative side effects of antibiotic treatment.
