Fig. 1 Mortality rate caused by bacterial infections in cirrhosis in the last decades. 1-month and 1-year mortality rates were higher before than after 2000, although differences were not statistically significant.

Fig. 2 Pathogenesis of bacterial infections in cirrhosis. The risk of bacterial infection in cirrhosis is due to multiple factors that include liver dysfunction, portosystemic shunting, gut dysbiosis, increased bacterial translocation, cirrhosis-associated immune dysfunction (AID) and genetic factors.
