Gram-negative sepsis

Gram-negative sepsis is a serious condition caused by an infection with certain bacteria called Gram-negative bacteria. These bacteria release toxins into the bloodstream, triggering a widespread immune response. This can lead to inflammation, blood vessel damage, and a drop in blood pressure, potentially causing organ failure. Common sources include infections from the intestines, urinary tract, or wounds. Prompt treatment with antibiotics and supportive care are crucial to control the infection and prevent life-threatening complications.
