- Q5Which description of the cholera pathogen is correct?The bacterium produces a toxin that causes the secretion of chloride ions into the small intestine, drawing in water by osmosis.The virus prevents the kidney from absorbing water, so water is secreted into the small intestine, causing diarrhoea.The virus produces a toxin that causes the secretion of chloride ions into the small intestine, drawing in water by osmosis.The bacterium prevents the kidney from absorbing water, so water is secreted into the small intestine, causing diarrhoea60s
