Answer 2

Yes. Sepsis is a general term referring to a bacterial infection. Due to widespread overuse of antibiotics, sepsis is becoming more and more common, as more people acquire infection from bacteria that are resistant to some antibiotics. However, most people are able to recover from these infections, and there are some very powerful new antibiotics in use, which are usually given intravenously, that can cure sepsis.

Answer 3

Yes they can but it all depends how physically strong their body is. I work in a hospital and I see patients recover from sepsis. For some it takes a longer time than others but they do recover.

Yes, takes intensive, and sometimes long term antibiotic therapy, and depending on the severity of the case, inpatient treatment may be needed.
