Abstract Purpose Rodent models of sepsis are frequently used to investigate pathophysiological mechanisms and to evaluate putative therapeutic strategies. However, preclinical efficacy in these models has failed to translate to the clinical setting. We thus questioned the representativeness of such models and herein report a detailed comparison of the metabolic and cardiovascular phenotypes of long-term faecal peritonitis in fluid-resuscitated rats and mice with similar mortality profiles. Methods We conducted prospective laboratory-controlled studies in adult male Wistar rats and C57 black mice. Animals were made septic by intraperitoneal injection of faecal slurry. Rats received continuous intravenous fluid resuscitation, whereas mice received intermittent fluid boluses subcutaneously. Sham-treated animals served as controls. Survival was assessed over 72 h. In separate studies, whole body metabolism (O2 consumption, CO2 production) was measured over 24 h with echocardiography performed at early (6 h) and established (24 h) phases of sepsis. Blood gas analysis was performed at 6 h (rats) and 24 h (rats, mice). Results Similar survival curves were seen in both rodent models with approximately 75% mortality at 72 h. In mice, sepsis caused severity-dependent falls in core temperature and global metabolism. Oxygen consumption in severely septic mice fell by 38% within 2 h, and 80% at 22 h compared with baseline values. This was only partially restored by external warming. By contrast, septic rats maintained core temperature; only severely affected animals showed a pre-mortem decline in oxygen consumption. Significant myocardial dysfunction was seen in mice during early and established sepsis, whereas peak velocity and other hemodynamic variables in rats were similar at 6 h and significantly worse by 24 h in severely septic animals only. Conclusions Markedly differing metabolic and cardiovascular profiles were seen in long-term fluid-resuscitated rat and mouse models of bacterial sepsis despite similar mortality. The mouse model, in particular, does not represent the human condition. We urge caution in applying findings in murine models to septic patients, both with regard to our understanding of pathophysiology and the failure to translate preclinical efficacy into successful clinical trials.
