Serum and ascitic fluid (AF) levels of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α (a), interferon (IFN)-γ (b) and interleukin (IL)-12 (c) in cirrhotic patients with ascites and bacterial DNA translocation, according to CG dinucleotide content of each identified species. CG content frequency for the four species was: Staphylococcus aureus 2·54%; Streptococcus pneumoniae 2·73%; and Enterococcus faecalis. 3·50%. STA: Stap. aureus; STR: S. pneumoniae; ENT: Enterococcus faecalis. *P < 0·05 when compared with STR; †P < 0·05 when compared with the remaining groups.
