So excited for this PK/PD workshop! The speakers are fantastic, and topics are top notch! I miss ICAAC so much and am so glad @sidpharm.bsky.social and @escmid.bsky.social are bringing it back!!

Happy Antibiotic Awareness week :). So proud of our ASP team, especially our PGY-2 ID resident Diana who designed the education, games and fun buttons we have out!

Safety of early oral ambulatory treatment of adult patients with bloodstream infections discharged from the emergency department | Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy Randomized trials have unanimously shown the benefits of oral antibiotic treatments for stable patients with bacteremia (1). However, transition to oral therapy has been usually performed after several days of intravenous treatment—frequently up to 7 days (2)—highlighting the need for evidence of the safety of earlier oral treatments (3).

Can we treat patients with low-risk BSI discharged from the ED with a fully-oral course of antibiotics?

[Spoiler: Yes!]
