Identification of bacteria in MLN

	TX/CON	RX/CON	RX/ABX	RX/GLN	Total
Escherichia coli	1/10	4/12	0/9	4/13	60%
Enterobacter cloacae	0/10	3/12	0/9	1/13	27%
Klebsiella pneumoniae	0/10	1/12	0/9	1/13	13%

Bacteria were isolated from mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) and identified as described in methods. TX, small bowel transection; CON, control diet; RX, small bowel resection; ABX, oral antibiotics; GLN, glutamine-supplemented diet. Data presented in the cells under each study group are the number of rats with positive translocation of a certain species over total number of rats in the group. The column Total shows the percentage of the rats with translocation of specific bacterial species in the 4 groups of rats.
