Sepsis: The interplay between antimicrobials, other treatments and host immunity
Join us on Thursday, 19 November 2026, 16:00 CET
When treating sepsis, is targeting the infection enough? How do antimicrobials, supportive therapies, and the patient’s immune response interact to shape disease course and influence outcomes?
Held during World Antimicrobial Awareness Week, this webinar will explore the complex interplay between antimicrobial therapy, other treatment strategies and host immunity. Bringing together current evidence and clinical perspectives, the session will highlight the importance of an integrated and personalised approach to sepsis management, with the ultimate goal of optimising treatment and improving outcomes in critically ill patients.
Key Learning Objectives:
-
Discuss the effects of antibiotics on host immunity and the microbiota
-
Explore the role of vasopressors, immunosuppression and novel drugs in the management of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) infections
