eschrihia coli helps in digestion. Also one of the two functions of the pancreas is to secret juices to aid in digestion, such as amylase and lipase. the other function is to sercrets hormones such as insulin and glycogen to help regulate metabolism of glucose and protein in the liver and other tissues. the stomach secretes acids and other enzyme's to aid in digestion. the liver secrets bile an ... enzyme's, the slivia.........it's the enzyme's that aid in digestion not bacteria. The bacterial infections of the the intestions usually cause diarrhea, leading to dehydration. Salmonella, e - coli and Shigella are the most common bacterial infections usually treated with anti-biotics.
