Infection must be suspected in patients who have signs of deterioration such as fever, increasing WBC count. Most infections in pancreatic necrosis are caused by single bacterial species from the gut. In patients with infected necrosis, antibiotics known to penetrate pancreatic necrosis, such as carbapenems, fluoroquinolones, and metronidazole, are recommended.
