Determinants of Entero-Invasive and Non-Entero-Invasive Diarrheagenic Bacteria Among HIV-Positive and HIV-Negative Adults in Ghana
This explorative, hypothesis-forming study suggests species- or pathovar-specific associations between enteric bacterial pathogens and HIV-related immunosuppression. Observed relationships with clinically apparent diarrhea largely align with findings from sub-Saharan African children, except for a more pronounced association between diarrhea and <i>Salmonella</i> in this cohort.
