Someone created a waiting lounge for our office and I’ve never received a nicer compliment

Had a challenging/rewarding week at work that reminded me why I became an ID pharmacist 🥲

What do we think about the resistant mechanisms of this baddie?

When someone calls me the meropenem police Me:

@Darcy_ID_doc 🥲 😊 best compliment ever

An ID pharmacist is an ID attending's attending.

@jfsisaacs5 @SuperBugDoc @IdVilchez @ArunaSubraman12 @StanDeresinski @Marisa_Holubar I would do Linezolid. Although there is data for dapto + beta lactams combos in this scenario, it’s hard to ignore a S linezolid result and I haven’t seen a definitive benefit yet.

We are trying to discourage its use in this kind of scenarios as it could be more common then R/R CMV infections. Let’s wait for the 302 study results evaluating MBV for PET before we can move in this direction. @KottonNelson @EmilyBlumbergMD @RazonableMD @GenPapaMD

@serotavirus @OncIDPharmd @safabric @Weavofloxacin @IdVilchez Lol maybe now that Sam said it, I won’t need to add it to the formulary 🎉

🧐Anyone have experience or guidance treating Enterococcal endocarditis in the context of the POET trial? How do we implement a cephalosporin in a regimen containing PO amoxicillin? #IDTwitter #MedTwitter @IdVilchez

@microbepharmd Is there any documentation supporting this? I’d like to please read it. Thanks

I don’t know who needs to hear this but, there’s a >90% chance that your patient with COVID-19 pneumonia does not need antibiotics.

If every antibiotic prescription required an Informed Consent and Initial Intake Forms then we might fix overprescribing, AMR and C diff 🙄😓 #JustSayin #IDTwitter

We love a stoplight table! Check out this great summary made by @moore_wjustin of PsA resistance 🦠 to beta-lactams from the recent #Breakpoints discussion with @erinmccreary, @MaggieMonogue, and @aoliverp73. Then listen to the episode for all the details: sidp.pinecast.co
