A conceptual depiction of the ‘sepsis triangle’. The outcome of the confrontation between the human genome and the microbial genome depends on stochastic events that represent ‘a black box’ in the sepsis conundrum. These events are influenced by variable expression of genes in both human and microbial genomes, as well as by variations in the time course of these genomic responses (adapted from 8).
