4 days ago · Carrier. 1. A person or animal harboring a specific Infectious Agent in the absence of discernible clinical disease and which serves as a potential source of infection. The carrier state may occur in an individual with an infection that is inapparent throughout its course (known as a healthy or asymptomatic carrier) or the carrier state may ...

Healthy individuals efficiently clear abnormal AGNB from the oropharyngeal cavity and digestive tract. This clearing property is called carriage defense . Individuals are continuously exposed to AGNB. Healthy people acquire AGNB in the oropharynx via food intake, whereas unconscious patients acquire bacteria in the oropharynx form the environment, ...
Abnormal carriage of AGNB and MRSA inevitably leads to overgrowth of these bacteria in critically ill patients following deterioration of the underlying disease . Intestinal overgrowth of abnormal flora has been shown to promote and maintain systemic immunoparalysis via liver macrophage activation and is considered an independent risk factor for c...
Colonizing microorganisms that are not eliminated from internal organs invariably lead to a high concentration (≥105) of PPMs, predisposing to invasion. The host mobilizes both humoral and cellular defense systems to hinder the invading microorganisms. However, infection requires both invasion and critical illness, which jeopardize immunocompetence...
