@IDstewardship Traditionally loved clindamycin in pediatrics. With more recent guidance on doxycycline use in <8 y/o and and local antibiogram, it’s looking like a promising choice. Besides, doxycycline is the Swiss Army knife of antibiotics. What else covers CAP, atypicals, STIs, & rickettsial

Excited to share this paper on effects of antibiotics on the gastrointestinal resistome in immunocompromised kids! Punchline: prophylactic antibiotics increase resistance to themselves, but *not* to other antibiotics. 🧵@StJudeResearch https://t.co/nF7fCPPqmp

@STangGirdwood @DrDarcyW @robertdaulton That seems far more accurate and palatable than the aforementioned term or its alternative, “red neck syndrome”. You have my vote!

What does a mask do? Blocks respiratory droplets coming from your mouth and throat.

Two simple demos:

First, I sneezed, sang, talked & coughed toward an agar culture plate with or without a mask. Bacteria colonies show where droplets landed. A mask blocks virtually all of them.

Great work and presentations by all of my wonderful ASP colleagues at #PIDSASP19 I feel that data can tell a better story on a control chart. #rememberwalter

Dr. Latania Logan on vaginal seeding - "I've been crying on the inside since I learned about it." (Loving this presentation -- she has the best comments!) #PIDSASP19 @PIDSociety @SIDPharm

And unfortunately the rate of resistant infections is increasing too — even in children — and is associated poorer outcomes. https://t.co/RF8NBOjgc0 #PIDSASP19

[Joshua D. Courter @JCourterPharmD]

I could see that for amox/clav with the various amox:clav ratios. But amox? I’m wondering if there’s a lack of EMRs in some of these settings preventing decision support.

[SIDP @SIDPharm]

@pedsteward @PIDSociety Reason for high cefdinir use? Prescriber interviews cited easier dosing than amoxicillin. #PIDSASP19
