Consider this our post advertising the latest episode, ‘Biocide Bashing’, available now!
Hold on to your Phallusocks ®️, this topic’s as scary as it gets! (That’ll make more sense after you listen)

“Always start with oral for a satisfying resolution”?
“Use the mouth before things go south”?
Everything I think of sounds naughty.
I’ll work on it. Great poster, @drrossanarosa.bsky.social !
I’ll go back to X if you don’t.

OI
YOU
… Podcast on Azole Antifungals.
Would be a shame if you reposted it to AAAAAAALLL your followers, and liked it and commented on what you thought of it below
PLEASE DON’T DO THAT we hate popularity!!

I count that as gram negative infection (serious), would treat the same way I would for pyelo/GN BSI.
Beta-lac (Ceftriaxone, Piptaz)
FQ (Cipro, Levo)
Cotrim
Aminoglycoside (maybe, +/- amoxicillin)
Depending on previous ABx exposure, micro etc.
In UK it’s Amox/Gent or CRO, depending on location
Incidentally: only oral 3rd gen we have in the UK is cefixime: it’s got low bioavailability, so I wouldn’t consider it equivalent to Ceftriaxone.
I’ve never used it, actually… the UK has a weird attitude to oral cephalosporin in general…
Is this going to be a podcast series?
It should be. At the back of my mind I’ve had an idea for a “Microbe Maestros” mini series where we’d explore famous figures in micro/ID: Pasteur, Koch, Lancefield, Spellberg, etc.
Starting with the GOAT, Fleming, obviously…
First 10 days: leave it the fuck alone. IV Ceftriaxone 2g BD, with IV Amox.
D11 onwards: I forget about all that synergistic Ceftriaxone/gentamicin crap and go with what POET showed worked (maybe even better than IV Rx): one of the oral regimens.
I wonder if @bradspellberg.bsky.social would recommend any mono-Rx regimens from the #wikiguidelines #endocarditis guidance?
(Honoured to be @‘d in the same tweet, naturally. Unless he comes and poopoos my argument in which case I never liked him)
…They’d be on high dose IV Amox/Cef, so wouldn’t switch to PO Amox before as I can’t get to 12g/d with oral admin. Does that make a difference? Who knows; but with 12g/d you’ll be getting T>MIC of almost 100%, even if they’ve got 6 kidneys and a dialysis machine up their backside.
2/3
I advocate for it whenever I can.
POET regimens that made it into ESC 2023 guidance:
-Linez + 1 of Amox, Moxi, Rif
-Amox + 1 of Moxi, Rif
So once I get to D10 I try to switch to 1 of those (the Moxi regimens only if the others can’t be done), and sometimes I’m successful.
Before D10…
1/3
Yeah yeah we all know what to do with Penicillin Allergy BUT: what about cephalosporin allergy? Bet you don’t know what to do about that!
Well this week’s episode can help! Listen below, or on your podcast app…

From a UK PoV, we’d use Fluclox as a default: Cefazolin is becoming more widespread post-SNAP and the recent papers re: Cefazolin CNS Penetration, but we’ve the most experience with ASP.

Can’t disagree with that. It’s probably the next drug episode we’re doing. Thinking of titling it “why vancomycin isn’t crap even though everyone thinks it is”.
Also wonder when Dalba’s off patent if we’ll all start ‘stat Dalba’-ing everyone we need to cover for MRSA and forget about the rest of it
I SAID IF YOU WERE AMERICAN TO SUB AZITHRO FOR CLARI GOD JONATHAN WHAT DID YOUR LAST PODCAST SLAVE DIE OF??!!
