Surprisingly, E. coli 018, a common cause of human neonatal meningitis/septicemia, translocated to the MLN at similar low numbers. Even more surprisingly, E. coli 2348/69, a prototype human enteropathogenic strain (EPEe) and E. coli EI-37, a prototype human enteroinvasive strain (EIEe) translocated to the MLN at levels lO-fold lower than that of any of the indigenous E.

Bacterial translocation from the GI tract has become even more relevant with the dramatic rise in the numbers of hospitalized patients with compromised immune systems and increased intestinal permeability, such as the elderly, trauma patients, and those with cancer, diabetes, transplants, invasive devices, or AIDS. , 1990, Distribution and survival of Escherichia coli translocating from the intestines after thermal injury, Ann.

Treatment with the combination of an oral antibiotic plus an immunosuppressive agent for longer than 7 days even produces lethal sepsis by the translocating bacteria.
