please note Cefazolin simply not available in many LMICs, particularly in subsaharan africa and that's what drives use of ASPs there rather than pure dogma
Todd C. Lee@DrToddLee
@BrentFooter @BradSpellberg @ABsteward @Josh_S_Davis @syctong A ton of people have been using ASPs as first line.

The elation of winning a research grant is short-lived. The paperwork from here to actual data collection ... sheesh

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is when microbes change so that drugs that previously worked don’t anymore. Antibiotic misuse is the leading cause of AMR. Dr. Makeda Semret is testing a new tool to address this. Learn more: cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/53768.html?f… #WAAW #OneHealth @MSemret

I wanted to share with you all that my father recently passed away, which is why I've been away from X for a while.
It’s been a difficult time for me and my family.
I’m taking some time to focus on my family and greifing, but I plan to be back soon.
Thank you for your support.

🔍👁️ 🍄 “Based on available evidence, and high risk of morbidity of eye involvement, continued ophthalmological screens seem prudent, but a definitive consensus was found to be challenging given a lack of outcome data. Additional investigations are warranted. Ophthalmology screenings have a higher sensitivity at >7 days from positive blood culture.” academic.oup.com/ofid/advance-a… in @OFIDJournal #IDxPosts
