IDPL, run by Dr. Charles Peloquin, provides therapeutic drug monitoring for antimicrobials (antiTB, BLs, FQs, linezolid, antivirals, antifungals) using LCMSMS
@FlorianLemaitr5@BradSpellberg TB multiplies ervery 18-20 hours in vitro, and SA about every 30 minutes.
I would probably give 600 mg BID, since RIF is gone by about 12 hours, and if the companion drug is dosed several times per day, only some of the doses would have RIF present for “synergy.” C.Peloquin” 2/2
@FlorianLemaitr5@BradSpellberg “I have not done a study with 300 mg BID.
I have studied 600-900-1200 mg QD.
RIF does have saturable efflux during absorption providing higher than proportional AUCs at higher doses.
You probably have seen that with the clinical service. 1/2
Scientists from @UFHealth and the @IDPLab recently used machine learning to retrospectively evaluate outcomes for more than 700 intensive care unit patients who were infected with hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated pneumonia. #AIatUF https://t.co/nr3JXOA2DC

At #MADID2022 Dr. Mohammad Alshaer @IDPLab sat down to discuss his study that looked at the utilization of the technology with this #antibiotic class in hospital-acquired pneumonia and ventilator-associated pneumonia.

..couldn't find in the paper the N of RRT patients, esp that the authors allowed inclusion of RRT pts after protocol modification in 2017.
7) Again, great work @hagel_stefan@jasonroberts_pk and thanks for paving the way for more TDM work in the future!
Good night!
#IDtwitter TARGET Trial is such a great work by @hagel_stefan@jasonroberts_pk Some take-home messages will follow.
A disclosure before we move on, this is NOT Dr. Peloquin's account but rather his lab's which handled by different people. Tonight, Mo Alshaer will be your host!

Taking some time to read TARGET (https://t.co/cNy7ZFn988) I finally have some thoughts, sorry wasn't prepared for the rapid fire commentary of the last couple of days, i'm ready now! See 🧵
1) I like this trial and I think @hagel_stefan@jasonroberts_pk and the team...
..these were secondary analyses, and would like the clinicians not to misunderstand this as TDM has no role here.
6) Authors found difference in mortality in pts with pip conc >96 mg/L. These might be RRT patients (RRT might be an independent predictor of mortality). I
