Re: the most common bacterial diarrhea
sshahraz - 08-09-08 16:59 This is tricky and I want really to discuss it. According to different references either campylobacter J. or Salmonella is the most common BACTERIAL cause of diarrhea. Different references refer to CDC but they don't mention which is the most common. So, I can say these two together are the first two most common. Any more thought?
