Definition
English
:
The passage of viable
bacteria
from the
GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT
to extra-intestinal sites, such as the mesenteric lymph node complex, liver,
spleen
,
kidney
, and blood. Factors that promote
bacterial translocation
include overgrowth with gram-negative enteric bacilli, impaired host immune defenses, and injury to the
INTESTINAL MUCOSA
resulting in increased intestinal
permeability
.
Bacterial translocation
from the lung to the circulation is also possible and sometimes accompanies MECHANICAL
VENTILATION.
