Description
Yaning Yuan and coauthors review in 2026 the two-way relationship between sepsis and the gut microbial community. Sepsis, the body's extreme response to infection, both damages gut microbes and is worsened by that damage. The review separates human evidence, animal evidence, and unproven claims so readers can judge each safely.
Sepsis drives microbe imbalance through poor blood flow, inflammation, and heavy antibiotic use. The disturbed gut then feeds organ damage across brain, lung, liver, and kidney pathways. The authors warn that live probiotics are dangerous in septic shock and some other high-risk states, urging source control and careful antibiotic use first.
