Let’s go MU!!!

Hello from awesome MU ID fellows Dr. Pearson and Dr. Srivangipuram and IM resident Dr. Ingram @IDWeekmtg

@elvingeng @SLUResearch @WUDeptMedicine @SLU_Official Our final speaker of the opening session is @dr_dimadandachi of @MizzouID, who is bringing attendees up to speed on our Scientific Working Group (SWG).

Okay by popular demand, as requested, another ID/abx rant. Let's talk abx "spectrum of activity" vs. selecting for resistance. Does it make sense to use PCN rather than amp or amox to "reduce selection for resistance"? Nope. I know. Confusing.
