My series of tubes to help with paracentesis drainage. I was able to get 8L out of this patient with no intervention needed to change out bottles. I hope others are using this time saving trick! Don't worry, a tech was watching it the whole time to monitor for complications

The canyon leading to our front door just caught on fire. Why is this not a national emergency? Why can’t we request help from other states. This situation has gotten completely out of hand. #LosAngeles

For my providers in #LosAngeles #LA be on the lookout for resistant shigella. I try to send stool samples on pts coming in with significant diarrhea and have definitely had a good number of salmonella and shigella in the past year. #MedSky #IDSky #EMSky
Cluster of Extensively Drug-Resistant Shigella sonnei Carrying blaCTX-M-15 in Los Angeles, California, 2023-2024
We describe 3 cases of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Shigella sonnei infections among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Los Angeles, CA. Using whole-genome sequencing, we determined that they are highly genetically related, exhibit similar antimicrobial resistomes, and appear to be distinct from other circulating strains. These cases highlight the rapid expansion of XDR Shigella in the U.S. and urgent need for appropriate detection and management.
