Multiple challenges associated with AMR testing of Gm-negative bacteria - may result in over-reporting of resistance rates (e.g cefiderocol) potentially denying patients optimal treatment options, or under-reporting with life-threatening consequences - Prof Christian Giske #Antimicrobials2025 #AMR

Giske: beware using Cefiderocol discs in MBL strains - many isolates are S by MIC but in ATU (uncertain) on disc, resulting in over-calling of resistance.

#linezolid does one dose fit all????
Most likely not! Dr Cindy Lau goes through some scenarios - elderly, renal and hepatic impairment, #DDIs - where dose reductions may be warranted to improve patient care (& reduce toxicities)
