1714: "When Gut Bacteria Escape"
About this episode
This episode discusses the implications of gut bacteria escaping into the abdomen and the resulting infections.
Interesting Things with JC #1714: "When Gut Bacteria Escape" – Bacteroides fragilis lives normally inside the colon until the intestinal wall breaks and gut bacteria spill into the sterile abdomen. The same organism now sits in a different part of the body, where a mixed infection can begin sealing itself inside a pocket of damaged tissue.
