Abstract
These results demonstrate that non-viable bacterial fragments are present in sterile extra-intestinal sites in normal animals and that translocation of live bacteria is markedly increased in experimental biliary obstruction. These results also suggest that failure of bacterial killing is an important factor facilitating bacterial translocation in the presence of established biliary obstruction.
