#CF Lung infections are not caused by 1 pathogen in isolation but instead by interplay of complex lung microbiota of many different microbes interacting with each other & the lung environment
As the great migration from Twitter to Bluesky begins, I have created the "Clinical Microbiology" starter pack to help you find your colleagues. Please let me know if you would like to be added!

Interesting talk on C. auris by @andy-borman.bsky.social. Additional clades emerging, much more to understand about resistance mechanisms, and the importance of careful individualised infection control 🍄

Have added you to the #CFMicro list @chrisvandergast.bsky.social but can’t tell if this is publicly viewable (can you tell?)
Skills required to create a feed which I don’t have!
I think there are enough of us for a starter pack 👍
Our latest paper now published in Journal of #cysticfibrosis

visual abstract for the study which concludes that serum galactomannan is unhelpful in patients with lung transplants due to poor sensitivity
ROC curve for BAL galactomannan in diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis. The ROC is pretty decent (shows moderately good sensitivity and specificity)
ROC curve for serum galactomannan for diagnosing invasive aspergillosis in a cohort of lung transplant recipients. Probably the worst ROC I've ever seen, where the curve approaches the diagonal (ie completely worthless)
Diagnostic Performance of Serum & BAL Galactomannan Testing in Lung Transplant Recipients
"Serum GM is not a valuable test in the diagnosis of IA in our LTx recipients, is costly, & does not remove the need for bronchoscopy & BAL GM."
