My first #IDSky post will be a shameless promotion of our new UTI WikiGuideline!

Of 37 questions, only 6 had enough data to fully meet criteria for a clear recommendation!
Guidelines for the Prevention, Diagnosis, and Management of Urinary Tract Infections
This consensus statement creates a clinical guideline for the diagnosis and management of urinary tract infections that addresses the gap between the evidence and recommendation strength.

What follows will include some generalizations based on population averages of what I have experienced over the course of my career. There are, of course, exceptions in every group who are substantially more to one extreme or the other.

With all the uncertainty from the new changes proposed at the NIH, #UTIGA leadership wants to affirm our steadfast commitment to our mission to improve care of those that suffer from UTIs, promote the next generation of biomedical professionals and advocate for our patients. We are in this together.

My editorial simultaneously published in all of @asm.org's journals addresses the ongoing effort by the administration to halt efforts to diversify science. It should be obvious from ASM Journals' efforts over the years, but we aren't fans journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...
A call for healing and unity | mBio
Executive orders signed since 20 January 2025 aim to end programs intended to diversify the scientific workforce via equitable and inclusive practices and processes; cut federal funding for research and innovation; and stifle scientific communications. They represent a stunning reversal of policies that have been the bedrock of the U.S. scientific research enterprise and its leadership in the world, and therefore not surprisingly they have been met with a number of legal challenges. Some of the executive orders have been blocked by temporary restraining orders, and others are pending judicial review.
