Key Points

This study aims to investigate the effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on inflammation and survival in a model of sepsis.
Induction of sepsis in C57Bl/6J mice via cecal ligation and puncture (CLP).
Administration of MSCs or saline 6 hours post-CLP followed by analysis at 28 hours.
Longer-term survival studies conducted with antibiotic coadministration.
MSC treatment significantly reduced mortality in septic mice receiving antimicrobial therapy.
MSC treatment lowered systemic and pulmonary cytokine levels, preventing acute lung injury.
Bacterial clearance was significantly enhanced in MSC-treated mice, linked to increased phagocytotic activity.
