Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the body’s immune system has an extreme response to an infection.

In a potential paradigm change for sepsis diagnostics, a new test predicted sepsis soon after infection in mice - well before blood clotting and organ failure - enabling early antibiotic treatment and ...

Hidden bacterial tactics: Studies show pathogens like E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus split into subpopulations with different survival strategies, making infections harder to treat. New treatment ...

Physicians should take at least one blood culture from sepsis patients before administering antibiotics, as the therapy can create less reliable test results, according to a study published in Annals ...
