NewsCommonly used antibiotic brings more complications, death in the sickest patients
Treatment with the commonly used antibiotic piperacillin/tazobactam was associated with a 5 percent increase in 90-day mortality, more days on a ventilator, and more time with organ failure for patients with sepsis, a new study finds.

NewsScientists warn of overuse of antibiotics in newborns with suspected sepsis
Newborns in Sweden are given antibiotics for suspected sepsis to an unjustified extent, reveals a study of more than one million newborns. Despite a significant reduction in sepsis rate in the group, the use of antibiotics has not decreased.

NewsDiagnostic assay could identify AMR infections within hours
New research being presented at the Letters in Applied Microbiology ECS Symposium this May reveals how a new assay could potentially diagnose antimicrobial resistant infections within a matter of hours.
-
NewsArtificial sweetener has potential to damage gut
New research has discovered that neotame, one of the new generation of artificial sweeteners, is capable of damaging the human intestine and causing illness.
-
NewsMembrane-piercing drugs bring multidrug-resistant pathogens to their knees
A research team has introduced a method for the development of novel antibiotics to fight resistant pathogens. The drugs are based on protein building blocks with fluorous lipid chains.
-
NewsScientists have a new tool in the race to improve the diagnosis and prognosis of sepsis
Scientists identify unique molecular signatures of sepsis and use AI to improve diagnosis and identify patients most likely to develop severe symptoms and suffer poor outcomes.
-
NewsNew method detects pathogens faster and more accurately by melting DNA
A new analysis method can detect pathogens in blood samples faster and more accurately than blood cultures, producing results in under six hours, whereas culture typically requires 15 hours to several days, depending on the pathogen.
-
NewsNew sepsis test provides faster and reliable results
Doctors received test results two days earlier than before, when they tested a new way to analyze blood samples for suspected sepsis. This could mean life or death for patients at your local hospital.

NewsAntibiotic is cost-saving treatment for reducing maternal sepsis in developing countries
New findings suggest that giving an oral dose of azithromycin to pregnant women who deliver vaginally is a cost-saving treatment for reducing maternal sepsis, death or infection in developing countries.
-
NewsAI surveillance tool successfully helps to predict sepsis, saves lives
Researchers find that utilizing a unique AI algorithm that monitors several patient variables, like vital signs and lab results, can detect sepsis before symptom onset.
-
NewsTrial offers insights into treatment options for bloodstream infections
An international clinical trial has been able to gain decisive new insights into the treatment of bloodstream infections with the pathogen Staphylococcus aureus (SAB).
-
NewsResearchers decode the ‘cytokine storm’ in sepsis
The team found that three cytokine pairs were responsible for most of the body’s damaging response to sepsis.
-
NewsStudy links deprivation with risk of dying from sepsis
The most socioeconomically deprived groups in society are nearly twice as likely to die from sepsis within 30 days, researchers have found.
-
NewsCovid-linked sepsis more common and deadly than previously thought
New research suggests that the virus responsible for COVID-19 was a more common and deadly cause of sepsis during the initial period of the pandemic than previously assumed.
-
News$104 million US federal project to tackle antibiotic resistance
The project, studying bacterial behavior and antibiotic resistance, will focus on developing technology to improve diagnosis, speed discovery of new antibiotics, and illuminate basic mechanisms of bacterial behavior.
-
NewsNew test for sepsis could save lives in emergency departments
Interdisciplinary research has found that a new blood test for sepsis could save lives and money.
-
NewsMore people develop sepsis than we thought — but more survive
The observed increase in cases is largely due to more people developing sepsis repeatedly, rather than dying the first time they contract it, a new study reveals.
-
NewsSepsis is as common as cancer, study reveals
A study in Sweden that more than four percent of all hospitalizations involved the patient suffering from sepsis, and 20 percent of all sepsis patients died within three months.
-
NewsResearchers discover novel biomarker for sepsis severity
Scientists have identified a novel biomarker that could change the way sepsis is approached and treated.
