Abstract

Spontaneous and secondary peritoneal infections, mostly of bacterial origin, easily spread to cause severe sepsis. Cellular and humoral elements of the innate immune system are constitutively present in peritoneal cavity and omentum, and play an important role in peritonitis progression and resolution. This review will focus on the description of the anatomic characteristics of the peritoneal cavity and the composition and function of such innate immune elements under both steady-state and bacterial infection conditions. Potential innate immune-based therapeutic interventions in bacterial peritonitis alternative or adjunctive to classical antibiotic therapy will be briefly discussed.Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
