  • MLNs, mesenteric lymph nodes.

  • ↵7-150 Number of positive tests for all animals tested (p<0.05, ttest). **CFU/ml. Values are median (range) (p<0.05, Fisher’s exact test). In a column different letters indicate significant difference. Translocating bacteria were identified as E coli, P aeruginosa, M morgani, andEnterococcus species.
