AB Intraperitoneal  infections  result  when  normal  anatomic  barriers  are  disrupted.  Organisms  contained  within  the  bowel  or  an  intraabdominal  organ  enter  the  sterile  peritoneal  cavity,  causing  peritonitis  and—if  the  infection  goes  untreated  and  the  pt  survives—abscesses.
