SHAMBHUNATH DE was born in 1915 in a village called Garibati, Hooghly district, West Bengal. His father DASHRATHI DE and mother CHATTESHWARI were from an ordinary family. Dasharathi De was the elder son of his father, so after the death of his father, he took over the responsibility of the family himself. He worked as an assistant at a shop and then later started a small business of his own.
SAMBHU NATH DE contributed significantly to our recent understanding of CHOLERA and related DIARRHEA diseases and set a lasting milestone in modern approaches to diseases caused by the bacterial exotoxin. Following the discovery of Vibrio cholerae by Robert Koch in 1884, many works have been done around the world to answer many questions related to its pathogenesis and mode of transmission. D.'s seminal work in Kolkata, V. during 1950-60. It had several properties related to enteric toxin produced by bacteria, including cholera and Escherichia coli. In 1959, D demonstrated for the first time that cholera bacteria secrete enterotoxin. This discovery eventually spurred research to find a treatment aimed at neutralizing cholera enterotoxin.
Cholera, also known as the Asian epidemic, is an infectious Enteritis caused by the antibiotic-causing strains of a bacterium called Vibrio coli. Its transmission in humans is through the ingestion of food or water contaminated by this bacterium. Usually this contamination of water or food is caused by a current cholera patient. Until now, the cholera reservoir was believed to be human in itself, but there is ample evidence that aquatic environments can also serve as reservoirs of this bacterium.
