Whereas no bacterial translocation could be observed in uninfected mice with chronic colitis at all, viable intestinal commensal bacteria such as lactobacilli, enterococci, E. coli, Bacteroides/Prevotella species and Clostridium/Eubacterium species could be cultured from MLN, spleen, liver and kidney in 31.6%, 10.5%, 26.3% and 15.8% of infected IL-10−/− mice, respectively (Supplementary Information). Here, IL10 is linked to Chronic colitis.
