Pyrosequencing to Reduce Time for Detection in Human Sepsis

Abstract

Sepsis results from systemic presence of infectious agents, and it involves dysregulated immune response to such infections. Because sepsis can progress to varying degrees of tissue and organ failure, with nearly 40 % mortality rate, it is imperative to implement effective treatment modalities as early as possible. To do that, rapid and precise identification of the sepsis-causing infectious agents is important.
