It’s Read-a-Thon 📚 month at my son’s elementary school! Got to be a guest reader for second graders and my son chose this excellent book about Dr. Mario Molina and his work with CFCs and depletion of the ozone layer

The doxycycline breakpoint has now been *removed*✌️after approval from the full AST Subcommittee. Not enough micro, PK/PD, or clinical outcomes data exist to support a breakpoint. Tetracycline not formally reviewed yet, but likely to be removed in future
