Open Access Abstract Introduction The gut is often considered as the motor of critical illness through bacterial translocation which amplifies the inflammatory response and alters the immune status. However systemic bacterial translocation was rarely proven and endotoxin measurement only reflects translocation of Gramnegative-derived products. The process could be more frequently identified if peptidoglycan derived from both Gramnegative and Gram-positive bacteria was measured. Methods We developed a new tool to detect circulating peptidoglycan-like structure using a NOD2-transfected cell line. We also measured plasma and cell-associated endotoxin and different plasma markers of inflammation. We studied 21 patients undergoing abdominal aortic surgery AAS and 21 patients undergoing carotid artery surgery CAS were included as negative controls. Patients were sampled .
