Autophagy induced by taurolidine protects against polymicrobial sepsis by promoting both host resistance and disease tolerance

Abstract excerpt

Sepsis, septic shock, and their sequelae are the leading causes of death in intensive care units, with limited therapeutic options. Disease resistance and tolerance are two evolutionarily conserved yet distinct defense strategies that protect the host against microbial infection. Here, we report that taurolidine administered at 6 h before septic challenge led to strong protection against polymicrobial sepsis by...
