Sepsis is a severe condition that arises when the body's response to an infection injures its own tissues and organs. It can develop in a very short timeframe—usually hours, if untreated.

Patient responses during sepsis progression can vary significantly based on pathogen type, and understanding these responses may help develop more effective treatments, a study published in Cell ...

Accelerated Aging and Clearance of Host Anti-inflammatory Enzymes by Discrete Pathogens Fuels Sepsis. Cell Host & Microbe , 2018; 24 (4): 500 DOI: 10.1016/j.chom.2018.09.011 Cite This Page : ...

Microbial pathogens can be diagnosed unambiguously and within just 24 hours by means of high-throughput sequencing of their genetic makeup and special bioinformatics evaluation algorithms.

Bacteremia is the presence of bacteria in the blood, which can lead to an infection. Sepsis is the body’s severe, potentially life-threatening response to an infection that includes inflammation ...

People believed to have sepsis who take piperacillin-tazobactam (Zosyn) and vancomycin have a 5% absolute mortality increase at 90 days compared with those who take cefepime and vancomycin, a new ...

Rates of Early-Onset Sepsis and Associated Pathogens in 1991–1993 and 1998–2000. Sensitivity to Antibiotics.

Empa researchers have now developed "sepsis sensors" with magnetic nanoparticles that detect bacterial pathogens within a short period of time and identify suitable candidates for antibiotic ...

“We are continuing to map and compare host responses to pathogens in sepsis, using state-of-the-art technical approaches, and hope to ultimately stratify the disease,” Dr. Marth said.

Sepsis can also be triggered by a diverse array of pathogens – including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. This makes it challenging to pinpoint the exact cause of sepsis.
