Sometimes antibiotics are present in clinical samples, inhibiting bacteria growth. Here a patient was treated with piperacillin-tazobactam for pyelonephritis: Proteus mirabilis only grows when the concentration of antibiotics sufficiently decreases. #IDTwitter#ASMClinMicro
Magical listening to live music again 💙 V impressed by these #NHS doctors for putting on a wonderful concert, particularly after such a difficult 18 months. Herculean effort from 6 voices, performing the entirety of Mozart’s Requiem - incredible! #londondoctorsorchestraandchoir
Our first performance since October 2019! Elgar Serenade for Strings, Warlock Capriol Suite…and Mozart Requiem sung by a choir of 6. https://t.co/UHpn57s9Oj

Cluster of B. cepacia complex bacteraemias nationally. Identified by PHE at first as B. aenigmatica, but on review by an ‘international expert,’ revised to B. contaminans.
@helengrote Good luck with it all. It would be great to be able to call on your help for the orchestra again at some point, once we’re allowed to restart rehearsals ourselves of course!
@DrFarebro I used to watch Postman Pat when I was little. At that time he worked for the Royal Mail. Clearly his service has gone downhill since privatisation!
@elinlowri I’m the musical director of the London Doctors’ Orchestra and Choir. Happy to be involved and spread the word to our members. Would be great to play/sing something. Good luck!!
