I tend to look at prior UA values, if most show <5.5, it’s probably ok

The key finding was interconnectivity between healthcare facilities. With our study design, not possible to pinpoint exact locations of transmission but combined with prior work, long term care seems a likely culprit.
Very scalable, as long as you have access to sequencing data. #IDsky 🧪

The Impact of Synergistic Therapy Between Colistin and Meropenem on Outcomes of Patients With Pneumonia or Bloodstream Infection Due to Carbapenem-Resistant Gram-Negative Pathogens Colistin, a last-line treatment for carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacilli (CRGNB), is frequently used in combination with meropenem because these agents often demonstrate in vitro synergy.
