A high school student in the US has discovered a protein in yoghurt that has the potential to fight E.coli, the leading cause of diarrhoea in the world.
The yet to be named protein was discovered by 16-year-old Serena Fasano, a junior at Glenelg High School, after three years of research at the University Of Maryland School Of Medicine. Her father is director of the Mucosal Biology Research Center.
