  1. Prevalence: 22 % (7 out of 31)
  2. Translocation of S. aureus was evidenced in 5 of the 40 caecum and colon samples (12.5 %); translocation to the kidney: n = 3; translocation to adipose tissues: n = 1; translocation to Peyer’s patches: n = 1
  3. Translocation of B. cereus was evidenced in 1 of 7 ileum samples (14.2 %); translocation to adipose tissues
  4. Translocation of E. faecalis was evidenced in 1 of 20 caecum samples (5 %); translocation to the liver
