The gut microbiome's role in the development, maintenance, and outcomes of sepsis.
This paper examines the gut microbiome’s role in the development, maintenance and outcomes of sepsis. The authors focus on the key three areas of the interaction between the gut microbiome and sepsis and how once sepsis is established the gut microbiome worsens and increases susceptibility to end-organ dysfunction. They outline a potential research agenda for further investigating the interaction between the gut microbiome and sepsis.

Free and total p-cresol sulfate levels and infectious hospitalizations in hemodialysis patients in CHOICE and HEMO.
P-cresol sulfate (PCS), a prototype protein-bound uremic retention solute, has been shown to exert toxic effects in vitro. The researchers explored the relationship between free and total PCS and indoxyl sulfate (IS) with infection-related hospitalizations (IH) and septicemia in 2 cohorts. Their results suggest an association between higher concentrations of free PCS and infection-related and sepsis-related hospitalizations in hemodialysis patients.
