Summary

To evaluate the bacterial-viral interactions between LPS and Fluenz as a model for sepsis (bacterial) and Influenza (viral) infections which are common and associated with high mortality rates in the ICU. To understand these interactions is important for the development of preventive and therapeutic interventions.
