Abstract

Context: Sepsis's primary therapy consists of antibiotics therapy, supportive therapies, and source control of infection. The failure rate of this approach is about 20-40%. The widespread use of antibiotics has caused multiple drug resistance in primary etiological agents of sepsis in community-acquired and healthcare-associated infections. In the absence of new antibiotic options, alternative treatment modalities seem necessary.
