What’s the optimal cefazolin dose for MSSA CNS infections?
New PK/PD data says: it’s not just about higher doses—MIC matters.
2g q6h works only if MIC <=0.5 mg/L
For MIC:1-2 mg/L, continuous infusion (10–12g/day) may be needed to hit PD targets #idsky

The SNAP trial may finally resolve some of the longest-running debates in SAB management (cefazolin vs semi-synthetic PCN? Is PCN really active vs PSSA?).
Huge congrats to Drs. Joshua Davis, Steven Tong, & the global team who made this ambitious trial happen. #IDSky blogs.jwatch.org/hiv-id-obser...
