Core Tip	The exact mechanism behind bacterial translocation in patients with cirrhosis has not been fully elucidated. The discovery of reliable biomarkers for this phenomenon would be of significant clinical importance, as bacterial translocation is closely associated with the development of severe complications. Various molecules have been identified as candidates for serving as markers of bacterial translocation in this patient population. This mini-review attempts to summarize the most recent available data regarding the potential use of such markers as clinical and prognostic tools in the management of end-stage liver disease.
