      abstract = {The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions  in the form of relatively high molecular weight  biocompatible polymers such as polyethylene glycol,  optionally supplemented with a protective polymer such as  dextran and/or essential pathogen nutrients such as  L-glutamine. Also provided are methods for preventing or  treating gut-derived sepsis attributable to intestinal  pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa by administering  high molecular weight polyethylene glycol as well as  methods for monitoring the administration of high molecular  weight polyethylene glycol, such as in methods of  preventing, ameliorating or treating microbe-induced  epithelial disorders, as exemplified by gut-derived sepsis.  Frequently, gut-derived sepsis arises as a complication in  mammals recovering from surgical intervention or suffering  from a disease or disorder, providing indications of  suitable animals to receive preventative treatment.  Finally, the invention provides a composition comprising  infant formula and polyethylene glycol and methods for  using that composition.},
