As #ashpmidyear approaches, I am excited to share that I’ve committed to another year at @UWHealth as a PGY2 in Infectious Diseases. I cannot wait to spend another year with my co-residents and preceptors in Madison. On, Wisconsin! #pharmacyresidency #pgy2 #infectiousdiseases

I’m so excited to share that I’ve matched for my PGY-1 at @UWHealth! These past 6 years have absolutely flown by, and I wouldn’t be here if not for my friends, family, and mentors who have pushed me to be the best student and future pharmacist. #matchday2023 #pharmacy #residency

Corynebacterium striatum is commonly found on the skin and in mucous membranes, and can cause serious infections in immunocompromised individuals. Immunocompetent patients are also at risk due to the increasing rate of nosocomial C. striatum . #OTILT ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

CFTR: cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator @BWDionne @asroczenski @jeffpears0n @davidwkubiak

At least 6 classes of CFTR mutations exist in patients with a cystic fibrosis diagnosis. Class II mutations are most common and involve misfolding of the CFTR protein which inhibits its movement to the cell surface for physiologic effect. #OTILT ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Fluoroquinolones are often associated with cardiotoxicity and QTc prolongation. Moxifloxacin may carry the highest risk of cardiac events, followed by lexofloxacin, with ciprofloxacin having lower rates of cardiotoxicity. #OTILT pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30368737/

@BWDionne @asroczenski @jeffpears0n @davidwkubiak

Ertapenem has favorable dosing intervals compared to other carbapenems with daily dosing as opposed to three or four times per day. In vivo half-life of ertapenem is 4 hours, while the other carbapenems show in vivo half-lives of 1 hour. #OTILT pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17488146/

@BWDionne @jeffpears0n @davidwkubiak @asroczenski

Indwelling peritoneal catheters may be used for management of nonmalignant ascites. Peritonitis is a common complication of peritoneal catheters, often caused by Staph spp. and other skin flora. #OTILT ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

@BWDionne @asroczenski @jeffpears0n @davidwkubiak

Klebsiella oxytoca is found in the intestinal tract, and is largely implicated in healthcare-associated infections. K. oxytoca has increasing resistance to carbapenems compared to K. pneumoniae due to higher rates of KPC and ESBL producers. #OTILT ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

CTX: ceftriaxone; FEP: cefepime; AMP: ampicillin; PCN: penicillin @BWDionne @jeffpears0n @davidwkubiak @asroczenski

Strep mitis susceptibility to beta-lactams is generally favorable, with >95% of strains responding to CTX and FEP, and >80% responding to AMP. PCN shows the highest rates of resistant S. mitis, with approximately 70% susceptibility. #OTILT academic.oup.com/jacamr/article…
