Les facteurs chimiques: [...] ces sécrétions contiennent des produits antibactériens: le lysozyme qui altère les membranes mucopeptidiques des parois bactériennes, les glycolipides salivaires qui empêchent par compétition l'adhérence des bactéries aux cellules épithéliales. La salive contient de plus des enzymes protéolytiques et peroxydasiques bactéricides. L'acidité gastrique détruit un grand nombre de germes. Toute hypochlorhydrie gastrique augmente le risque d'infection intestinale parasitaire, bactérienne et virale. Les sels biliaires après déconjugaison gastrique détruit un grand nombre de germes.
