I. Influence of Eggwhite upon the Absorption of Bacteria from the Intestinal Tract.

Studies on Susceptibility to Infection Following Ionizing Radiation

“…These findings recall the studies of Arnold and his collaborators (13,14) on the transit of S. marcescens from the intestinal lumen to the blood stream in dogs. These authors recovered this microorganism in portal and femoral blood after its introduction in large numbers into the duodenum.…”

Antimicrobial Factors in Tissues and Phagocytic Cells

“…We know now, however, that bacteria in small numbers frequently cross these "intact" anatomical coverings. Exemplifying this situation is the repeated penetration of small numbers of coliform organisms through the gut wall to reach regional lymph nodes and rarely even the blood stream in normal animals (1)(2)(3), and the transient bacteremia with normal oral flora which frequently occurs in man following such everyday activity as chewing or brushing the teeth (4-6). Thus various tissues of the body are probably exposed many times daily to an assortment of microbes.…”

Post-Mortem Bacteriologic Studies of Different Areas of Human Teeth and Their Supporting Structures

“…These studies have varied from bacteremias demonstrated after tonsillectomies (10) or submucous resections to those existing in menstruating women (11). Bacteremias have been demonstrated in individuals with chronic arthritis (12,13) and after a change in the diet (14,15). Transient bacteremias have also been demonstrated following the extraction of teeth under inhalation (16) or local (17) anesthesia.…”
