Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1) Age >= 18 years 2) Presenting to the ER 3) Suspicion of bacterial infection of unknown origin, primary suspected urinary origin or primary suspected abdominal origin. 4) National Early Warning Score (NEWS) >= 5. 5) Requiring intravenous antibiotic treatment and hospitalization.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1) Working diagnosis at the ED of pneumonia (even if other foci are mentioned in the differential diagnosis). 2) Chemotherapy induced neutropenia as this is considered a separate entity in the guidelines. 3) History of renal transplantation or pre-existing renal failure defined as a GFR

| Main study: • Duration of intravenous antibiotic treatment in calendar days and hours • Time to switch to oral treatment in calendar days and hours • Duration of hospitalization in calendar days • ICU admission, length of ICU stay, mechanical ventilation • ICU admission in patients who are not directly admitted to the ICU • Complications during hospital admission possibly related to the disease or treatment. • Nephrotoxicity requiring dialysis • Hospital re-admission within 30 days of initial hospitalization • Failure of treatment Active Follow-up subset: • Quality of life • 1 year mortality • Duration of absenteeism • Health care cost per quality-adjusted life year • Societal costs per quality-adjusted life year • Nephrotoxicity according to the The Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. For criteria see chapter 7.2.1. • Recovery of renal function in patients with acute renal failure. • Subjective hearing loss PKPD subset: - To define the association between attained PK/PD index of empirical sepsis treatment with cefuroxime, ceftriaxone, gentamicin and/or tobramycin in the first 48 hours of treatment and 30-day mortality and other clinical outcomes such as renal toxicity and length of hospital stay in patients with community-onset sepsis - To define population pharmacokinetic characteristics of cefuroxime, ceftriaxone, gentamicin and tobramycin in patients with community-onset sepsis, including risk factors for not reaching the PK/PD target, in order to design future trials on optimized empirical antibiotic dosing in sepsis - To assess and compare attained PK/PD indices of patients sepsis empirically treated with cefuroxime plus aminoglycoside versus ceftriaxone or cefuroxime monotherapy and their association with 30-day mortality. - To assess and compare attained PK/PD indices of patients empirically treated with gentamicin versus tobramycin and their association with 30-day mortality. | — |
