No information is available at present on the effects of the many other secondary bile acids present in feces in small concentrations on water and electrolyte movement in the colon. In addition, no information is available on the role of bile acids in constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, nonspecific diarrhea, antibiotic diarrhea, or the diarrhea of the germ-free animal. Of interest is the response of the diarrhea of the germ-free animal to an anion exchange resin similar to cholestyramine (112). Studies are needed to define the structure-activity relationships for bile acids and the induction of water and sodium secretion by the colon. In addition, information is needed on the composition, concentration, and physical state of bile acids in colonic contents and feces in health and disease. 

Diarrhea The mechanisms by which probiotics prevent or ameliorate diarrhea may involve stimulation of the immune system, competition for binding sites on intestinal epithelial cells (Figure 3), or the elaboration of bacteriocins or binding of virus particles in the gut contents. These and other mechanisms are thought to be dependent on the type of diarrhea being investigated, and may therefore differ between viral diarrhea, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, or traveller s diarrhea. 

Paromomycin. Paromomycin [7542-37-2] is a broad-spectmm antibiotic that has been used in the treatment of fi nana and T. saginata and amebiasis, and also as an antibacterial agent in cases of diarrhea and dysentery (see Antibiotics, oligosaccharides). 

Important members of this toxin family are Clostridium difficile toxins A and B, which are implicated in antibiotics-associated diarrhea and pseudomembranous colitis. The large clostridial cytotoxins are single-chain toxins with molecular masses of 250-308 kDa. The enzyme domain is located at the N terminus. The toxins are taken up from an acidic endosomal compartment. They glucosylate RhoA at Thr37 also, Rac and Cdc42 are substrates. Other members of this toxin family such as Clostridium sordellii lethal toxin possess a different substrate specificity and modify Rac but not Rho. In addition, Ras subfamily proteins (e.g., Ras, Ral, and Rap) are modified. As for C3, they are widely used as tools to study Rho functions [2] [4]. 

As with all drugs, the specific side effects of the quinolones must be considered when they are chosen for treatment of bacterial infections [5]. Reactions of the gastrointestinal tract and the central neivous system are the most often observed adverse effects during therapy with quinolones. It should be underlined, however, that compared with many other antimicrobials, diarrhea is less frequently observed during quinolone treatment. Antibiotic-associated colitis has been observed rarely during quinolone therapy. Similarly, hypersensitivity reactions, as observed during therapy with penicillins and other (3-lactams, is less frequently caused by quinolones. Some other risks of quinolone therapy have been defined and must be considered if a drug from this class is chosen for treatment of bacterial infections.

Monitor the patient for complications related to antibiotic therapy (e.g., diarrhea or oral thrush) during and after completion of HP eradication therapy. 

Antibiotics have been studied based on the rationale that they may interrupt the inflammatory response directed against endogenous bacterial flora. Metronidazole and ciprofloxacin have been the two most widely-studied agents.32 Metronidazole may benefit some patients with pouchitis (inflammation of surgically-created intestinal pouches) and patients with CD who have had ileal resection or have perianal fistulas. Ciprofloxacin has shown some efficacy in refractory active CD. Both drugs may cause diarrhea, and long-term use of metronidazole is associated with the development of peripheral neuropathy. 

Empiric antibiotic therapy is an appropriate approach to traveler s diarrhea. Eradication of the causal microbe depends on the etiologic agent and its antibiotic sensitivity. Most cases of traveler s diarrhea and other community-acquired infections result from enterotoxigenic (ETEC) or enteropathogenic (EPEC) Escherichia coli. Routine stool cultures do not identify these strains primary empiric antibiotic choices include fluoroquinolones such as ciprofloxacin or levofloxacin. Azithromycin may be a feasible option when fluoroquinolone resistance is encountered. 

Educate the patient about (1) the causes of acute and chronic diarrhea (2) the possible complications of diarrhea (3) the goals of treatment for diarrhea (4) the antidiarrheal medication used to manage acute or chronic diarrhea and (5) if appropriate, the circumstances when antibiotics are used to treat diarrhea. 

Many antibiotics cause diarrhea. If it is severe, contact your health care provider. 

Nosocomial Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) is almost always associated with antimicrobial use therefore, we should avoid unnecessary and inappropriate antibiotic therapy. Almost all antibiotics except aminoglycosides have been associated with CDAD. 

Monitor the patient for the development of potential complications of treatment such as delayed hypersensitivity reactions, antibiotic-induced diarrhea, pseudomembraneous colitis, or fungal superinfections (manifested as oral thrush).
