💊Time to learn some #antibiotics! So many to learn in #clinicalmicrobiology, so little time!😅So I'm starting from the basics 🧱+ building on it🏡. Will share as I learn, so others can have an intro resource 🔖. Input/corrections welcome + appreciated! 🙏

Great perspective piece from @NEJM that #IDTwitter will relate: "But my white count..." nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Congrats, #Cameroon, on kicking off #malaria vaccination today. 🇨🇲 is one the most affected countries by malaria, with over 3 million cases & over 3800 deaths in 2021. @WHO welcomes 🇨🇲’s commitment and stands ready to support all efforts to #EndMalaria.

@warbler_works Also from the 70s: a glass bottle of “skim milk” - but it was neon orange and weirdly gelatinous…

I remember finding/seeing a catalog for lab fridges from the 70’s, with all of the wood paneling and avocado green finishes. What’s the oldest thing you’ve found in your lab? #medicallaboratoryscience #lab4life #lablife

As an academic writing coach, here are the 7 mistakes I see supervisors and PIs make in the process of co-writing a paper with their PhD students or mentees. A thread. 🧵 #AcademicChatter #newPI #PhDchat

Excited to gather with & learn from other passionate #microbiology educators at @ASMicrobiology #ASMCUE 👀 Find me at my poster on Saturday: “Making education in public health microbiology ‘pandemic-proof’” sched.co/1PiV1

Infectious disease visits a fish market

Urease positive yeast found from a respiratory specimen 🫁! What do you suspect it could be, and what special agars would help you?

@JuliaDHankins Superb mnemonic!! 👌

To remember which ones they grow on use greek prefixes and roman numerals. And hemolyticus means its hemolytic H. ducreyi (D like "deca") = needs X H. parainfluenzae and H. parahemolyticus (P like "penta") = needs V H. influenzae and H. hemolyticus = require both X and V

Twitter is now "X" but the real X is hemin on Haemophilus quad plates! Different Haemophilus species require X (hemin) and/or V (NAD) factors to grow. Each quad on the plate has different media, so you can ID the species based on the growth pattern (see memory helper below)

Co-evolution of immunity and seasonal influenza viruses Russell & colleagues explore the interplay between immunity evolution from previous infections or vaccination and the evolution of seasonal influenza viruses.
