A high frequency of MDSCs in sepsis patients, with the granulocytic subtype dominating in gram-positive cases.

Abstract excerpt

The causative microorganisms dictate the type of MDSC generated in sepsis patients, and a large proportion of PMN-MDSCs in gram-positive sepsis includes immunosuppressive myeloid blasts. MDSCs constitute a heterogeneous population of immature myeloid cells that potently suppress immune responses.
