The Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs at @CorewellHealth are working to promote proper use of antibiotics to help prevent the growth of antibiotic resistance. Together we can fight antimicrobial resistance. #AntibioticAwarenessWeek#AntibioticResistance
🆕️🔥Retrospective, multicenter, cohort study
Twice daily cephalexin is as effective as four times daily dosing for for the treatment of uncomplicated UTI with a cefazolin-susceptible urine culture #IDXposts https://t.co/XcGSUQqFm2
Celebrating the (almost) end of @geyer_abby’s PGY2 year! It’s been a few months already, but excited to announce that she’s accepted a stewardship position at Henry Ford Wyandotte! We’re so proud of your Abby!! @Lacymycin@THGRPharmRes#ProudPreceptor
So proud of @cass_lynae! 🔥 Hot take: the mPCR’s use in the ED prevented most patients with +non-COVID virus from receiving antibiotics; infection control precautions were appropriately ordered in <50% of patients (good thing we had😷!) #GLPRC#proudpreceptor
So proud of you @geyer_abby!! 🔥🔥Hot take: no difference in outcomes of patients treated with oral beta-lactams vs FQ/Bactrim. Median DOT of IV therapy was 4 days. 1 gram TID was used for both Cephalexin and Amoxicillin dosing. @glprc#Proudpreceptor
🎉@Lacymycin does it again! Benefits of PGY2 ID pharm res training in the community hospital setting. Weekend stewardship interventions significantly⬆️ with PGY2 implementation! Impactful PGY2 training in the community setting @THGRPharmRes@JAPhAJournal

New from @LisaIDpharmD; @DrJaymoGR; @lacymycin: We compared a 3-day course of ceftriaxone with longer antibiotic durations for inpatients with uUTI and found no difference in rate of clinical cure.

Come chat with my (Twitterless) partner-in-crime(ID), Ryan and I about our awesome PGY2 program! Lots of stewie opportunities and the second-largest HIV clinic population in Michigan! #PharmRes#IDtwitter
@RachelBPharmD@bryan_p_white This is very helpful. I didn't even realize there was so much controversy with cefepime because I have only experienced complete acceptance! Thank you for sharing!
@kennethPharmD Very few even had cultures unfortunately because we were targeting uncomplicated CA-IAI (which make MSSA even less likely) but I should double check..
@kennethPharmD @Antibioticsbot Thanks! I tried looking for any data to suggest negative outcomes with cefepime and didnt find anything. The response I got when I asked the provider was "i haven't used cefepime for MSSA". Now I am in the process of finding literature to defend its use and discuss as a group🤞
