IOX1 activity as sepsis therapy and an antibiotic against multidrug-resistant bacteria

Abstract Sepsis is caused by organ dysfunction initiated by an unrestrained host immune response to infection. The emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has rapidly increased in the last decades and has stimulated a firm research platform to combat infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bact...
