📣Excited to see this in @ASHE_Journal! No difference in patient outcomes using PO Amox or Cephalexin 1g TID compared to FQ & TMP/SMX for definitive bacteremia treatment from urinary source. Congrats @geyer_abby & team @DrJaymoGR @THGRPharmRes Thank you @ABsteward for posting!

With the latest CLSI breakpoints, tobramycin is the only reliable aminoglycoside for Pseudomonas if you ever need one (Susceptible: MIC ≤1) Amikacin: can still be used for UTI (Susceptible: MIC ≤ 16) Gentamicin: RIP ☠️

New in @CIDJournal: "approximately 40% of patients undergoing a major elective surgery did not receive guideline-adherent antimicrobial prophylaxis, largely due to unnecessary use of vancomycin..." Any ideas to⬆️guideline adherence? #IDTwitter #TwitteRx academic.oup.com/cid/advance-ar…

From @bpwhite et al: A pharmacist managed OPAT program showed decreased 30 day readmissions for patients on vancomycin as compared to patients not followed by the service. bit.ly/3X9xWeZ

@PHUofSCIDFellow First official time I got to teach “HECK Yes.” 🙌🏻 @OncIDPharmd just had to make an appearance…😂

Today, we revised the EUA for Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir and ritonavir), to authorize state-licensed pharmacists to prescribe Paxlovid to eligible patients, with certain limitations to ensure appropriate patient assessment and prescribing of Paxlovid. fda.gov/news-events/pr…

I used to drink tons of Diet Coke but it’s been one month since I’ve had a drop. I want to share some of the changes I’ve observed in myself over that time: - My health is unchanged - I’m less happy - My one source of joy is gone Thanks for encouraging me on this journey!

Had a string of these VanC guys back in the wintertime and made a lil cheat sheet for my teams 😌 Vanco more like vancNO 🙅🏻‍♀️

Updated Shorter Is Better Tables, thanks to @ABsteward for finding the new RCT of 6 mo all oral Tx for MDR TB, non inferior to > 9 months with an injectable regimen! bradspellberg.com/shorter-is-bet…

Super interesting💥 🆕💥Case report @CIDJournal @IDSAInfo Emergence of dalbavancin, vancomycin, and daptomycin non-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus in a patient treated with dalbavancin #IDTwitter #MedEd #TwitteRx Wow first time ever to use @CIDJournal academic.oup.com/cid/advance-ar…

Updated Shorter Is Better tables with new RCT for pediatric CAP. There are now 15 RCTs for CAP having randomized almost 9,000 patients, both kids and adults. It really feels almost like we're just piling on to run up the score at this point! bradspellberg.com/shorter-is-bet…

Here’s the Evusheld data - risk of symptomatic disease went from 1% to 0.2%. Excellent safety profile. Intramuscular AZD7442 (Tixagevimab–Cilgavimab) for Prevention of Covid-19 | NEJM nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

What works? Behavioral interventions work. Great work here from @jeffreylinder and colleagues with the power of the nudge, and showing how powerful peer comparison can be.

Updated Shorter Is Better tables with the 2 new RCTs @ABsteward found! 1 new post op prophylaxis, shorter was better. 1 new exception, chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (very long was inferior to very very long). bradspellberg.com/shorter-is-bet…
