Looking for people who treat S aureus bactermia to weigh in on some questions about oral switch and what type of data is required to permanently move the needle.
Please answer honestly if you treat these patients

@ABsteward pls amplify :)@DrEmilyMcD
What does it cost to diagnose sepsis where bacteriology labs barely exist? our new #LancetMicrobe paper: as little as $6.23/admission for a minimal testing package - plus a transparent tool to forecast supply needs. Practical guidance for #AMR action plans

We were part of the Dream! 💫
The MI4 team joined the MUHC Foundation’s Dream Big Celebration on June 11—celebrating $203M raised to supercharge research and improve care.
That’s a dream come true. 🌟

please note Cefazolin simply not available in many LMICs, particularly in subsaharan africa and that's what drives use of ASPs there rather than pure dogma

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is when microbes change so that drugs that previously worked don’t anymore. Antibiotic misuse is the leading cause of AMR. Dr. Makeda Semret is testing a new tool to address this.

fascinating case report from Rahel Zewde of auto-brewery syndrome. "Antimicrobial resistance is an important part of the syndrome, because frequent antibiotic use disrupts their gut" Her gut was producing alcohol, but doctors didn’t believe her | CNN 👏👏 cnn.com/2024/06/03/health/au…
Congratulations Cedric Yansouni @McGillTropMed !
