I guess the real question is - is there really such a thing as an uncomplicated S. aureus bacteremia? 😂

Thank you!

Any other major papers to help my argument?

Thanks #IDSky!

@theidpharmd.bsky.social and I will be doing a debate on IV vs PO #antibiotics for bacteremia

I'll be taking the side of pro-PO, I already know I'll probably lose the Gram-Positive argument but I'm not going down without a fight #IDSky #RxSky #PharmSky

Hi #IDSky! I’m putting together my usual top 10 ID papers of this year list again (this time will post here not in the other world).

Please tell me your candidate papers - practice changing paradigm shifting or dogma challenging!

“Cefdinir is trash” 🤣 Direct quote from my lecture this morning

Hey new users— we’ve been trying to build a strong culture of expecting alt text. Take it from me, because I’ve heard from them: there are blind people on this app and they appreciate being included. You can also turn on a setting that prevents you from posting images without it, if you forget

This might be because I only used imi/rele when ceftol/tazo was unable, but I think of this agent more for pseudomonas than KPC isolates. I would also use the ceftaz/avi personally. Though technically I think mero/vabo may be considered more narrow spectrum

@mmpharmd.bsky.social are you leading the pharmacy team this year?

I am wildly impressed with how quickly #PharmSky and #IDSky reassembled here.

I really missed opening up social media and actually learning something

I work in infectious diseases, so a phrase we throw around a lot is "bugs and drugs"

Hello #PharmSky #IDSky 👋

Trying to learn yet another platform, a post is a skeet?

Guidelines for the Prevention, Diagnosis, and Management of Urinary Tract Infections This consensus statement creates a clinical guideline for the diagnosis and management of urinary tract infections that addresses the gap between the evidence and recommendation strength.

My first #IDSky post will be a shameless promotion of our new UTI WikiGuideline!

Of 37 questions, only 6 had enough data to fully meet criteria for a clear recommendation!
