Bacteria are prevented from crossing the intestinal wall by the integrity of the intestinal cells, particularly the tight junctions, as well as the mucus lining of the intestines. If bacteria make it into the interstitial space in the intestinal wall, there is a strong diffuse immune system presence in the form of the GALT (gut associated lymphatic tissue) that can quickly move to eliminate trans-locating bacteria.
However, there is no specific lymphatic organ, just a collected of lymph nodes and lymph tissues.

What prevents bacteria from breaching the intestinal wall?
The mucus layer that lines the intestines acts as a physical barrier that prevents bacteria from coming into direct contact with the intestinal wall. Additionally, the immune system actively monitors and responds to any breaches in the barrier, preventing bacteria from crossing into the bloodstream. The presence of beneficial bacteria in the gut also helps to outcompete harmful bacteria.
