Static vs. cidal: it’s not complex; it’s simply incorrect | Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy In the first sentence of their recent study (1), Gil-Gil and Berryhill cite a 2018 review article (2) to support the statement, “The clinical outcomes of antibiotic treatments involving the administra...

We implore authors, peer reviewers,and journal editors to stop perpetuating the concept of static and cidal antibiotics, given the aforementioned evidence demonstrating it is a myth. In a clinical context, these terms are not complex. Rather,they are simply incorrect

Proud to be part of this work lead by wonderful medical student Mahaa Ahmed examining the roll out of nirsevimab in its first season of use. This study examined children born outside of RSV season who are therefore dependent on their primary care practices (and not birth hospital) to get nirsevimab

Doesn’t seem to be available to purchase

I’ve also had good luck with it which is interesting because I never learned about it in training

Do you know where I can purchase a copy of this book?

Congrdulations!

Thanks! That’s cool they can get the half life that long

Interesting? Any idea of the mechanism of action?

I don’t believe the Mach E, which is pictured here and a great car, is eligible for the tax credit

The death toll this past #flu season took on kids continues to climb. In its latest flu update, #CDC reports on another 4 deaths, bringing the total to date to 250 — an extraordinary number. 89% of the kids for whom vaccination status was known weren't fully vaccinated.

You should consider publishing a summary of this work. Important to get this review out in the literature to people beyond the bluesky world

Don’t remember last time I used combination therapy or IV therapy for more than a few days in any bone or joint infection no matter the complexity of patient

ACOG is deeply disappointed by HHS’s move to drop COVID-19 vaccine recommendations in pregnancy. The science is clear: COVID-19 remains dangerous in pregnancy and vaccination protects both patients and newborns. The vaccine is safe and protects families. Read our full statement: buff.ly/OGue7sO

Does anyone know how often MSSA falls into each of these mic categories? Our lab doesn’t report MIC for cefazolin for MSSA

#RSV rates in infants are falling. Hospitalizations are down 28 % and 43 % for infants less than 7 months in two different networks, as reported in this week's MMWR.

This is real world evidence that maternal immunization and MAbs are protecting this vulnerable populations - #MedSky.

Interesting. I’ll look forward to reading your paper.

Where do most ecmo related infections come from?

Placebo trials of vaccines; it's amazing what you find when you look! @jakescottmd.bsky.social @abhaydhand.bsky.social @alejodiaz81.bsky.social
Thus far, 94 RCTs of vaccines identified. Among them, 69 placebo controlled, & 4 control groups received nothing. So...

Clinicians often don't adhere to pediatric Tamiflu guidelines, analysis finds

Among clinicians with knowledge of guidelines, 62.0% recommended use.

When presented with vignettes of children hospitalized with influenza, many clinicians did not recommend use of oseltamivir despite guideline recommendations. Does this suggest a need for rcts in hospitalized children? More
education? Different guidelines?

$5 million boost for world-first trial tackling strep infections in both children and adults A major new clinical trial, the Streptococcal Adaptive Platform (STRAP), has received $5 million in funding from the Australian Government’s Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) to improve treatment for life-threatening streptococcal infections across all age groups. Lead by researchers and clinicians from the Doherty Institute, Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI), and other national and international partners.

SNAP is extending from S aureus to invasive streptococcal infections!

Me too…

Having done two of these in the last year it’s truly exhausting. Trying to do hours of paperwork, forms and emails on top of an already busy schedule. Hang in there. Your patient will appreciate the effort.

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS or other (non-LCH) dendritic or histiocytic sarcomas cases.

Any plans you know of to evaluate rezafungin in children?
