Abstract:Bacterial translocation has been intensively studied for several decades. However, the Chinese translation of bacterial translocation is still inconsistent and unstandardized at present. To solve this problem and provide a theoretical basis for the proper translation, this paper clarified the research background, terminological definition, mechanism, and biological significance of bacterial translocation. We then systematically summarized the frequency of the two main translations in Chinese literature. Furthermore, basing on the original meaning and biological process, we discussed the corresponding translation of bacterial translocation. We finally adopted the more accurate and more recognized one for promoting the standardization in relevant research.
