What started as a fun (and maybe a bit scary) debate @SHEA_Epi 2023 with @dr_dmorgan is now published in @AnnalsofIM. We discuss implications and potential benefits of the new hospital onset bacteremia/fungemia (HOB) metric. Thanks @dr_dmorgan for your leadership! @CarlosdelRio7
Thrilled to work with up and coming @JessH_A on piece discussing new HOB (hospital-onset bacteremia) metric
& how it may eventually replace CLABSI and other metrics

Use of nonstigmatizing language is associated with improved outcomes in hospitalized people who inject drugs - Pleased to share our most recent paper in @JHospMedicine on the impact of stigma in outcomes among PWIDs. @EmoryCFAR https://t.co/Xw2A7pKcgI
Thanks @Dr_Mike_Stevens!! It was fun to get to argue against @dr_dmorgan, although I think I got the better side ;). Thanks to @SHEA_Epi for a great #SHEA2023
The time to act is now. Ask your federal legislators to cosponsor the #PASTEURAct, a bill recently reintroduced by @SenatorBennet, @SenToddYoung, @RepDrewFerguson & @RepScottPeters which would spur antibiotic development and strengthen antibiotic stewardship: https://t.co/7SiIefP9kp
