- W2410645950 abstract "Bacterial translocation is defined as the passage of viable bacteria from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract through the mucosal epithelium to other sites, such as the mesenteric lymph nodes, spleen, liver and blood. This paper reviews results from animal models utilized to obtain information concerning the defense mechanisms opera-ting in the healthy host to confine bacteria to the GI tract. Gnotobiotic and antibiotic-decontaminated mice colonized with particular bacteria demonstrated that the indi-genous GI flora maintains an ecologic equilibrium to prevent intestinal bacterial overgrowth and translocation from the GI tract. Studies with athymic (nu/nu) mice, thymus-graf ted (nu/nu) mice, neonatally thymectomized mice, and mice injected with immunosuppressive agents demonstrated that the host immune system is another defense mechanism inhibiting bacterial translocation from the GI tract. Ricinoleic acid given orally to mice disrupted the intestinal epithelial barrier allowing indigenous bacteria to translocate from the GI tract. Thus, bacterial translocation from the GI tract of healthy adult mice is inhibited by : (a) an intact intestinal epithelial barrier, (b) the host immune defense system, and (c) an indigenous GI flora maintaining ecological equilibrium to prevent bacterial overgrowth.Deficiencies in host defense mechanisms act synergistically to promote bacterial translocation from the GI tract as demonstrated by animal models with multiple alterations in host defenses. Bacterial translocation occurred to a greater degree in mice with streptozotocin-induced diabetes, mice receiving nonlethal thermal injury, and mice receiving the combination of an immunosuppressive agent plus an oral antibiotic than in mice with only a primary alteration in host defenses. The study of bacterial translocation in these complex models suggests that opportunistic infections from the GI tract occur in discrete stages. In the healthy adult animal, bacterial translocation from the GI tract either does not occur or occurs at a very low level and the host immune defenses eliminate the translocating bacteria. Bacterial translocation does take place if one of the host defense mechanisms is compromised, such as a deficiency in the immune response, bacterial overgrowth in the intestines, or an increase in the permeability of the intestinal barrier. In this first stage, the bacteria usually translocate in low numbers to the mesenteric lymph node, and sometimes spleen or liver, but do not multiply and spread systemically. Bacteria translocate to other organs includ-ing the blood and peritoneal cavity, however, in animals exhibiting multiple alterations in their defense mechanisms, such as immunodef iciency in combination with bacterial overgrowth. In the third stage, the alterations in host defenses are severe enough to allow the translocating bacteria to produce septicemia and death. Thus, bacterial translocation from the GI tract is an important early event in the pathogenesis of certain opportunistic infections." @default.
