- Escherichia coli is a leading cause of bloodstream infections and sepsis, but existing animal models fail to replicate the complexities of these conditions, hindering the development of effective treatments.
- Researchers aimed to create a more accurate large-animal model of septic shock using sheep, by infusing a specific strain of antibiotic-resistant E. coli and closely monitoring their health over 48 hours.
- The study successfully induced septic shock in five sheep, showing consistent and reproducible results, including significant drops in blood pressure and increases in lactate levels following the bacterial infusion.
