About this episode
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.
