an absolutely crazy week capped off with an NDM and an OXA-48 at two different community hospitals seems like the perfect way to say happy (belated) ID pharmacists day to the best and coolest humans out there @sidpharm.bsky.social. I love this job so much 😍

@gurujosh.bsky.social presents the results of the MSSA domain of the SNAP 🫰 trial at #ESCMID2025

fluclox caused more acute kidney injury than cefazolin; early mortality favored cefazolin

Absolutely Herculean effort by the entire global trial team and practice changing data #teamcefazolin

@steventong.bsky.social presents the results of the PSSA domain of the SNAP 🫰 trial - the worlds largest trial of staph aureus bacteremia - at #ESCMID2025

fluclox resulted in higher mortality and more AKI compared to penicillin for PSSA

ADAPT-SEPSIS showed care pathways of 100 random PCT pts. I looked at the first 45. ABX stopped day after🛑advice (i.e., PCT 'worked') in 8%(4/45). 🛑advice ignored for 2+ days 18/45 (40%). PCT irrelevant to management in 20/45 (44%). 2 pts 🛑abx 2 days after 🛑 signal. #idsky #amssky #pharmsky #medsky

it's always the supplement...

weird to get "STRONGLY SUPPORTS STOP ABX" note day 3-4.... but stop ABX day 7?

⬇️ abx 8➡️7 days for empiric sepsis = good, yes

why send *7* PCT labs to do that? especially if ignored some days? why not just... treat for 7 days?
