Scholarship Description: Early and rapid detection of infection is a major goal of Clinical Microbiology. In particular, an ability to differentiate between Sepsis and other non infectious causes of systemic inflammation, such as Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS), is particularly pertinent as it will determine antibiotic administration. Recently, we and others have identified 25-hydroxycholesterol as an important inflammatory mediator regulating the production of pro-inflammatory IL-1 driven responses. To date these studies have linked inflammation with the antiviral interferon response. In this context less is known about 25-hydroxycholesterol and bacterial infection.
