@prasad_prithiv @IM_Crit_ You can perform MALDI-TOF MS directly from positive blood culture bottles prior to growth on culture plates with a high rate of success (80-90%).

The first three to come and ask in person get my abstract reviewer coffee vouchers. At poster P3276. #ECCMID2024 / #ESCMIDGlobal and we can discuss prospective rutine WGS of health care associated bacteraemia!

@BradSpellberg @ABsteward @microregistrar "Optimising treatment" or "targeting treatment" seems to work

@ABsteward @microregistrar Yeah this whole "step-down" thing has gotta stop.

Benefits of oral "step-down" therapy in IE
Would call it oral transitional or oral switch though

"Atypical" pneumonia has to go.
What does it mean?

#IDTwitter #IDXposts CASE UPDATE: Patient died next day in septic shock and MODS. His therapy on the day of death was cefepime, levofloxacin and linezolid. Post-portem blood culture result came up 👇 He didn't stood a chance...

#IDTwitter #IDXposts A 80-years old gentleman was admitted for AKI requiring hemodialysis. On admission ceftriaxone was started because of elevated WBC (24) and lung crackles on the left. There was no fever and CRP was normal. On 2nd day of hospitalization his CRP rose to 150 👇

@ABsteward @padstamundo This, by colleagues of mine, sheds more light on the issue. Species dependant associated risk. academic.oup.com/cid/article-ab…

Although much attention has been afforded to S. bovis,there are many other isolates associated w higher risk for colorectal cancer-associated BSI

@IDdoc_DK @BJegorovic And + gentamicin for synergy. Also we prefer peni/ampi over meropenem, due to narrow spectrum, case reports of treatment failure and retrospective data associating Mero with higher mortality. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

#IDtwitter Listeria meningitis in patient with sulpha-allergy and in case when ampicillin is not available. How would you treat?

@LpeixeLuisa Sandoz recalled all Dicillin and have now apparently made the decision to cease production withdraw Dicillin from the market permenantly. As far as I can gather the product from Sandoz was only marketed in Denmark and Iceland. (Paywalled and in Danish). medwatch.dk/samfund/articl…

For the European colleagues: is DIciclin available in your country? Maybe you will have the same bug: Contaminated dicloxacillin capsules as the source of an NDM-5/OXA-48-producing Enterobacter hormaechei ST79 outbreak, Denmark and Iceland, 2022 and 2023 eurosurveillance.org/content/10.280…

Yes! And if you're at #ECCMID2023 you can hear Charlotte present the case tomorrow at 0830 in Hall P. (Might be prudent to get there early... Hall P does not have many seats).

Siden 1996 har DANMAP-rapporterne gjort det muligt at følge antibiotika-forbrug og målepunkter i DK. Datagrundlag fra de Kliniske Mikrobiologiske Afdelinger og SSI gør det muligt at følge påvisning af mikroorganismer og antimikrobiel resistens. danmap.org
