   Sepsis is a global problem which is exacerbated by increasing
   bacterial resistance to antibiotics. However, mechanisms of natural
   resistance can be extremely effective, and need to be exploited, but
   the availability of iron is critical for controlling bacterial growth.
   The diagnosis of sepsis and possible strategies for limiting iron
   availability are discussed.
