TAILΦR Milestone! Dosed our first patient with
@bwtrautner.bsky.social in an academic-led clinical trial (NCT06559618). The phages were discovered, manufactured, tested, FDA approved and now administered in one location by one team, an end-to-end miracle we hope will counter the AMR crisis. Dream!

I've often wondered about this question--does a shorter duration of antibiotics spare the microbiome, or are any antibiotics bad for the microbiome

Shorter may be better, but how (and how much better)?
A study in OFID examined the impact of antibiotic duration on gut microbiome composition and antimicrobial resistance.

Loved the snow-looked like a snow globe but real
Wonderful evening w/ our @umn-idim.bsky.social folks hosting the one & only, Dr. Barbara Trautner!

Discussed her career, academic medicine, & the sage wisdom she can pass on to us trainees…

We pulled out all the stops to welcome her, even turned on the snow for her 😉😂☃️

What a great visit! When can I come back?
We were honored to have the amazing Dr. Barbara Trautner visit @umn-idim.bsky.social to give the Wesley Spink Memorial Lecture. It seemed appropriate to gift her matching friendship bracelets: UMN ❤️ UTI in maroon & gold. She also got to see snow ❄️ yesterday!
