Sepsis is a potentially fatal disorder caused by a systemic inflammatory response syndrome in the body due to an infection elsewhere, which leads to end-stage multi-organ malfunction and death. It's also referred to as septicemia, and it can develop into sepsis shock if not treated appropriately. Despite several advancements in medicine, resuscitation techniques, and life support equipment, sepsis continues to be the leading cause of morbidity and fatality in hospitalized or critically ill patients. Furthermore, it is still the most common nosocomial infection globally. To prevent deadly septic shock and enhance the sepsis survivability of the patients, identification and prompt commencement of broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy is indicated. Furthermore, severe sepsis or septic shock places a significant economic or financial burden on patients and healthcare systems, often requiring long-term ICU treatment. Again, rising antimicrobial resistance worldwide has made treating sepsis infection increasingly tricky. Strengthen sepsis research with Central BioHub's high-quality human specimens.
