Book Chapter
Postmortem bacterial translocation
2017
Overview
Bacterial translocation is a recently developed concept referring to the passage of microorganisms from the gastrointestinal tract to extraintestinal sites, such as the blood. This phenomenon occurs in healthy individuals, is increased in certain diseases, and is even more intense after death. Intestinal bacteria are major agents in postmortem changes, but the timing of bacterial translocation after death is not yet fully understood. This chapter provides information about the different aspects of the intestinal microbiota, the mechanisms involved in this translocation, and the postmortem changes affecting the thanatomicrobiome. The different factors influencing postmortem bacterial translocation are analyzed, as well as its relevance to the forensic practice, such as the identification of infectious agents at autopsy, the postmortem interval estimation, or the postmortem toxicological analysis.
