Yeah personally we should drop the word de-escalation. What are we going up or down on anwyay?

The issue is breadth of antimicrobial coverage, measured bluntly by the number of species that you catch within your antibacterial net!

I’ll handle this, @gpollara.bsky.social.

Dr Lester, in my experience it goes Start Smart; Focus; escalated overnight by F1 for a temp of 37.3; de-escalate again; back on IV because AMT 9/10; on orals after 10d IV to finish off; but it’s high dose Cipro obviously and the patient just died of C.diff
