Sepsis...: Sepsis is caused by an infection so antibiotics are the main treatment. Cultures are done to determine the cause of the infection and to tell what antibiotics would be the best treatment. Other treatments are geared to the symptoms that are present, like medicines to support the blood pressure if it is low.

Depends on severity: Sepsis is a serious condition where an infection leads to an aggressive response from the body. Treating the infection with antibiotics and providing fluids are the first set of treatments - but depending on how ill the patient becomes, it may also require drugs to keep the blood pressure elevated, blood products, invasive blood pressure and heart monitoring, and so on.
