Bacteraemia is a condition characterized by the presence of bacteria in the bloodstream. This can occur as a result of infection in another part of the body, such as the lungs, urinary tract, or skin. Bacteraemia can lead to serious complications, including sepsis and septic shock, if left untreated. Research in this area focuses on understanding the causes, risk factors, and outcomes of bacteraemia, as well as developing effective treatments and prevention strategies. Studies may also explore the role of different bacteria in causing bacteraemia and how the body's immune response can impact the progression of the infection.
