How Vibrio cholerae causes diarrhoea
1. Releases
toxins
in the small intestine
2. Toxins bind to
proteins
on the
membrane
of the small intestine
3. Toxins cause
chloride
ions to move into the lumen of the small intestine
4. Chloride ions Reduce the water potential of the lumen
5. Water and ions moves into the lumen by osmosis from the bloodstream
6. More water in the small intestine lumen leads to diarrhea and therefore dehydration
