ETEC and Shigella account for at least one billion cases of diarrhea annually. Insufficient data exist, but conservative estimates suggest that these two bacteria are responsible for more than 15 percent of child deaths from diarrhea and for many deaths in older age groups. Currently, there are no licensed vaccines against either pathogen.
These bacterial infections cause more than half a million deaths every year among children younger than five years, with millions more hospitalized from severe, dehydrating diarrhea.
