RE: WHAT IS SEPSIS?

in #steemstem7 years ago

What scares me the most is the rapid emergence of antibiotic resistance in bacterias. A sepsis caused by resistant species could have disastrous outcomes.

It is all about early detection

This is absolutely going to be our key in successful fightback, allowing us a bit more time to to test for sensitivity of the causative organism to different antibiotics, in case they're resistant to the commonly used ones.

Sooner or later there will be scary breakout. I recently had to use colistin in a carbapenem resistant bug. Successful but I rather not do it daily.
