Necrotizing soft-tissue infections (NSTI) have high morbidity and mortality rates despite aggressive surgical debridement and antibiotic therapy. AB103 is a peptide mimetic of the T-lymphocyte receptor, CD28. We hypothesized that AB103 will limit inflammatory responses to bacterial toxins and decrease the incidence of organ failure.
