Been inactive on Twitter for a while, but breaking the silence with our recent medRxiv article describing our investigation of how an emergent US CR #Acinetobacter lineage established itself regionally. This is work I reported at #acinetovibes 2022

This work highlights the multiple epidemiological niches through which CRAb can sidestep efforts against intrahospital outbreaks, and proposes a way to start investigating these outpatient networks through leveraging clinical isolates.

The Tietz Textbook has been a staple in my life for decades. Exciting to see the 7th edition in print; it is an excellent resource for all things lab medicine! Big thanks to all the authors, editors, and reviewers for making this happen! @_AACC @ElsevierConnect

[Van der Henst Lab @CVanderHenst1]

Very happy that the third edition of AcinetoVibes will take place this year (7-8 June). This free online conference is open to everyone, Acinetobacter experts and non-experts. Registration: https://t.co/V6xGO4s14S Looking forward to welcoming you to AcinetoVibes2022 !

In collaboration with @WashUID, senior authors @volatilebug and @BurnhamBugDoc published “Staphylococcus aureus injection drug use-associated bloodstream infections are propagated by community outbreaks of diverse lineages” in @CommsMedicine https://t.co/iYqJC6An3c

@FindMeInTheLab Other values to consider on front-end of lab systems: empowerment, robustness/reproducibility, joint ventures, "green"-ness, accessibility, citizenship (inside and outside lab). I'm just a few months ahead of you in the saga of opening a new lab, so congrats and happy voyages!

[JuanCalixMDPhD @CalixMdPhd]

Also, much appreciation for the mentorship and support from @BurnhamBugDoc @volatilebug

Our hypothesis-driven investigation of the epidemiology and microbiology of IV drug use-associated S aureus infections, combining clinical data and NGS of clinical isolates. Hopefully the first of many #IDcollabs with @LauraMarks5.

IVDU-associated S aureus BSI: [1] composes ~15% of total staphylococcal BSIs (and growing); [2] is a communicable infection; and [3] has distinguishable clinical characteristics and microbiology = case for considering IDU-BSI as a separate clinical entity from other BSI (?)

Just a small reminder that while everyone is sitting hear discussing whether we can make jokes and/or laws about trans or other LGBTQIA+ individuals, we LGBTQIA+ healthcare providers are seeing the real life consequences of those jokes and laws, so here are some facts

Third COVID-19 vaccine given without problems (well, a little pain in the shoulder), y given at the same time as my annual flu vaccine! Please, let's all get vaccinated

Tercera vacuna contra COVID-19 puesta sin problema (pues, un poco de dolor en el hombro), y puesta a la misma vez que mi vacuna anual contra la influenza! Por favor #Vacunémonos
