Department of Medicine Staff Awards @mayocliniccancer.bsky.social
Honored to be a Member of the amazing CAR-T cell therapy team.
Mycology Lab for the medical students at Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine. We reviewed morphological differences between Aspergillus and Mucorales.
Included in this year’s Mycology Lecture for the medical students at Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine.
Trichophyton indotinae, an emerging fungal threat
Microbiology course at Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine. We reviewed 4 case of tuberculosis with a focus on social determinants of health.
Excellent discussion led by our social worker, Mariah Thompson, and Dr. Zami Temesgen, principal investigator Mayo Clinic Center for Tuberculosis.
Bacteriology Lab for the medical students at Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine led by Dr. Bobbi Pritt.
We had 12 stations. All about Gram stains and cultures! Note the green metallic sheen of E. coli on Eosin Methylene Blue (EMB) agar.
Introduction to Microbiology for the medical students at the Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine
We discussed this MMWR publication which brought us back to the onset of the #HIV epidemic.
Looking forward to our journal club #MayoClinic Infectious Disease Fellowship. Adjunctive corticosteroids in hypoxemic patients with non-HIV Pneumocystis pneumonia. No difference in 28-day mortality. However, need for mechanical ventilation was lower in the steroid group.
As a member of the ABIM Infectious Disease Approval Committee, I would like to congratulate those who recently passed their Boards. You are all committed to delivering exceptional patient care and upholding the highest standards in Medicine.
How best to treat invasive aspergillosis? @pascalisid.bsky.social reviewing key clinical studies informing this choice - important to monitor vori levels , NB: AmB <vori=isavu @idweek.bsky.social #IDWeek2025 #TxID #IDSky
Please join us this Monday 8-9 am at IDWeek. Difficult-to-treat mold infections. Dimitrios Farmakiotis will be discussing treatment of mucormycosis. I will be discussing aspergillosis.
There’s now an app for all things fungi 🦠🍄
Dr. Matthew Pullen, Assistant Professor at the University of Minnesota, helped launch Dr Fungus—a free app that brings the trusted resource to your phone.
Explore fungal infections, antifungal treatments, and case-based learning—all in one place.
🆕 MMWR: In NYC, NDM-CRE just surpassed KPC-CRE for the first time.
And nearly 75% of these cases had no long-term care facility link
This is a changing landscape of antibiotic resistance - happening across US

Detection of Mucorales antigen in BAL samples using a newly developed lateral-flow device
A Mucorales antigen test is sorely needed
This one had Sn of 76.92%, Sp of 75.51%, respectively, PPV 45.45%, and a NPV 92.5% (Not good enough but could augment qPCR)

This #TransDayofVisibility 🏳️⚧️
Please know:
We see you, & we will continue to fight for you.
ID Grand Rounds.
I discussed the following:
- ONE Health
- Aspergillus urine antigen
- Giant magnetoresistance-enabled PCR
- Rezafungin for prevention in bone marrow transplant
- Ibrexafungerp (FURI)
- Olorofim (Study 32)
- Our experience with fosmanogepix
In rare cases, vaping-associated lung injury (EVALI) may lead to irreversible damage requiring lung transplantation
Can filgrastim precipitate organ rejection ?
We used Giant Magnetoresistance to diagnose invasive fungal infection. The assay has the potential to detect trace amounts of fungal DNA in serum

You are right. Species identification was done at the Fungus Testing Laboratory UT Health San Antonio.
Aspergillus pseudodeflectus belongs to the Aspergillus section Usti. Can be multidrug resistant (similar to calidoustus) - Learning something every day!
I have to admit I do not know the answer to this question 😔
