Sepsis Management and Antibiotic Therapy

Dear Colleagues,

Sepsis is a severe medical condition that requires urgent attention and prompt treatment. It occurs when the body's immune system overreacts to an infection, leading to inflammation and damage to tissues and organs. Sepsis can quickly progress into septic shock, which can be life-threatening. Antibiotic therapy is a critical component of sepsis management, helping to kill bacteria causing infection and prevent its spread throughout the body. However, the overuse and misuse of antibiotics have led to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which pose a significant challenge to sepsis management.

This Special Issue aims to provide an overview of the current best practices in Sepsis Management and Antibiotic Therapy, publishing the latest research, guidelines, and clinical recommendations. Submissions to this issue should include topics such as the use of biomarkers for sepsis management, the role of antimicrobial stewardship in preventing antibiotic resistance, and emerging therapies for sepsis treatment.
