Abstract
Neutrophils are important, expeditious front-line "soldiers" in fighting against bacterial infection. In sepsis, the overwhelming immune response to bacterial infection precipitates systemic inflammation and organ dysfunction. Neutrophils release many lysis-inducing factors and cause local tissue damage, and neutrophils themselves became a target in controlling sepsis.Entities:
