A patient has gone to the hospital for a routine kidney stone surgery. As part of the surgery, a stent was put in place to allow proper drainage. About a week after the surgery, the patient began experiencing chills and a fever. She was admitted to the hospital and quickly moved to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), where it was determined she had gone into septic shock. Research and describe the role of G- and G+ bacteria in causing septic shock. What are potential side effects? What should be done to treat the patient?

Solution

Most often Gram -positive bacteria causes this septic shock followed by exdotoxin synthesis at wounded incisions after surgery by Gram -negative bacteria. Endotoxins are the virulent lipoglycans and they called lipopolysaccaride materials released by gram-negative bacteria. These can cause septic shock. Therefore, the above patient has developed this sepctic shock a week after the surgery, the patient began experiencing chills and a fever & lowering of blood pressure and changes in cellular metabolism level, as symptoms following her kidney stone surgery. The Staphyloccoccus and strptococcus bacterial species often use cellular metabolic products as their medium to grow finally cause severe septic shock within the patients. The lipoplysaccharides and virulent exotoxins & endotoxins are the major factors that potentially induce this shock in immunocompromised individuals,. The best treatment is antibacterial medication such as antibiotics, (broad-spectrum antibiotic) along with IV fluids for vasopression
