Summary

This study looked at whether certain genetic differences in the immune system make some people more likely to develop severe bloodstream infections from E. coli or Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Researchers planned to analyze blood samples from 60 patients to find mutations linked to sepsis. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
