Alternative PJP prophylaxis carries risk of breakthrough infection and barriers to initiation. Since most recovered from adverse effects of TMP-SMX and tolerated resumption, providers should re-trial TMP-SMX when feasible. #idsky #medsky #Txid

Needs Informed model of Care for people living with HIV (NICHE) NICHE is a five year programme of research aimed at improving mental and physical wellbeing in people living with HIV (PLWH).

Prof Alison Rodger shares the preliminary findings of the NICHE Study #BHIVA24. It explores associations between different factors including shame, depressive/anxiety symptoms & socio-economic markers. You can read more about the study here: www.ucl.ac.uk/global-healt...

Just published the first case of penicillin-resistant group B Streptococcus isolated from a patient in the UK - though of note this was from 2016 and we have not seen any further penicillin resistance since - however a salient reminder that #AMR is ever a possibility

Welcome to World AMR Awareness Week & #EAAD 2024

Aim: to increase awareness of global antimicrobial resistance & to encourage best practice.

Tools, themes & signpost to key resources are available via the toolkit

Disappointed not to be joining #UKFETP, #EPIET and #EUPHEM colleagues at #ESCAIDE2024 in Stockholm today, but the weather in the Peak District is helping make up for i!t ❄️☀️ #peakdistrict #maternityleave

Resistance profiles of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales in a large centre in England: are we already losing cefiderocol? AbstractBackground. Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) pose difficult therapeutic challenges. We aimed to characterize antimicrobial resistance

New paper from my colleagues at UCLH

Nearly 70% (!!!) resistance to Cefiderocol in NDM positive bacteria.

Cefiderocol...we hardly knew ye...

Perfect timing for World Antimicrobial Awareness Week #waaw24 #IDSky

Noooo... I thought Group B streptococcus was always penicillin susceptible! 😱
