Happy Holidays from me and Echo 🩵🎄🐈

Pets of #IDSky #PharmSky #SIDP #MedSky
Echo the orange cat standing next to a Charlie Brown-esque potted fir tree. The tree is decorated with multi-colored lights, royal blue and pearl white ball ornaments, and a snow flake ornament towards the top.

I aspire to my cat’s level of relaxation 🧘 Happy #Caturday from me and Echo 🩵🦋

Echo the orange cat asleep on a light blue fluffy blanket, the picture of ultimate rest and relaxation. He is laying on his side facing the camera and pink toe beans on one of his front paws are peaking out from folds of the blanket.

Taken by surprise by this single bloom on one of my Christmas cacti today. I can’t find another bud on the entire plant 🪴 💚
Pale, pale yellowish bloom on a Christmas cactus (maybe a Thanksgiving cactus 🤷🏼‍♀️). Hot pink stamen (pretty sure that’s the stamen?). No other buds to be found on the entire plant. A pleasant surprise. Pale, pale yellowish bloom on a Christmas cactus (maybe a Thanksgiving cactus 🤷🏼‍♀️). Hot pink stamen (pretty sure that’s the stamen?).

Echo wishes you some rest on this #Caturday 😴🐈

Echo the orange cat, stretched out on the bed, head snuggled into my forearm, eyes closed, content, front legs reaching towards me, white whiskers catching the light coming in through the gap in the curtains.

Might this ability of ASB strains to outcompete uropathogens explain the signal in the literature for *increased* risk of symptomatic UTI following ASB treatment? 🤔 6/n
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22677710/
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26270684/
Kaplan-Meier curves at 12 and 40 months of follow-up, showing that patients receiving asymptomatic bacteriuria treatment were more likely to develop subsequent symptomatic UTI.

There are well-characterized ASB strains, like E. coli 83972, that lack virulence factors such as adhesins and are distinct from uropathogenic E. coli. 4/n
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17502385/
Figure 2 from linked article that contrasts an asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) strain of E. coli, E. coli 83972, and uropathogenic or UPEC E. coli. The ASB strain lacks adhesins and therefore cannot ascend to the upper urinary tract. It maintains urine colonization due to its fast growth and potentially also biofilm formation. Host immune response is not triggered in response to these ASB strains.

#Caturday with Echo 🐈 🩵

Pets of #IDSky
Echo the orange cat. Head bent and nuzzled into the palm of my hand. He seems to be smiling. Light streaming in through the window.

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline
Metal sculptures of cranes or herons, in the middle of a pond. The water is reflecting the vivid blue of the sky and green of fir and other trees.

Will eventually post ID and other things but for now, Caturday 🐈 with Echo.
Echo the orange cat. Much fluff. Sleeping contentedly with a paw curled in front of his face.

Echo the orange cat. Much fluffiness. Unusually snuggly in this picture, doing a faceplant into the blanket.
