[Nutrition and bacterial translocation].
The present work is part of a presentation given at the Scientific Meeting of the Association for Surgical Nutrition and Metabolism, during the XX National Congress for Surgery (Madrid, November 1994). The authors, prior to presenting their experiences, define and high light the importance of the phenomenon of "Bacterial Translocation" (BT). Afterwards, and based on several experimental studies performed by them, they attempt to answer two questions: 1) Is the term BT correct? 2) Is BT a physiological or a pathological state? Finally they review the relationship which exists between bacterial translocation and nutrition, both from a causative point of view as from the prevention and therapy of the same.
