Abstract:
The present invention provides a treatment for sepsis comprising an intravenous solution or pill that contains creatine phosphate and is devoid of carbohydrates. The intravenous solution can be used as a common carrier for antibiotics used to treat the septic condition. Because bacteria cannot utilize creatine phosphate to generate ATP, the creatine phosphate in the solution or pill provides an energy source for the patient but not the bacteria. The present invention avoids the problem of standard glucose solutions, which provide a ready nutritional source for the infecting bacteria.
