Educate | Advocate | Act now

The theme for the #WAAW2024 has been recently announced and calls on the global community to educate stakeholders on #AMR, advocate for bold commitments and take concrete actions in response to AMR.

RAISE AWARENESS, STOP AMR

[Brad Spellberg @BradSpellberg]

3 daily rants in one week? A new record!

It's a fair question. And the answer is, no. Even in immune suppressed patients there is no evidence that cidal vs. static means anything. Why?

Saturday fun

#IDtwitter Can you name one typical side effect associated with a particular antimicrobial?

It may not be common but it's something that makes you think of the drug immediately (vice versa)

I will start first

Eosinophilic pneumonia (Daptomycin)

Fever patterns look nice in textbooks but speaking as a infectious diseases specialist I don't find them in any way helpful clinically

Based on available evidence, majority of persons with pTB are anticipated to be non-infectious or of low infectious potential after 5 days of anti-TB, regardless of sputum bacteriologic status (smear, culture or NAAT) during treatment

ONE ANTIBIOTIC PK TABLE TO RULE THEM ALL

Absorption takes drug into blood from GI,
Vd spreads drug out to where bug calls home.
And after bacteria are doomed to die,
They’re mostly eliminated on the porcelain throne

In the Land of Notion where this table doth lie.

First up, quick definition:
➡️ Since HCAP is now dead, CAP is basically all pneumonia acquired outside of a hospital.

Lots of stuff can cause CAP, but viruses cause a LOT. Any virus that can cause an upper respiratory infection can also cause pneumonia.

I am often asked how long a patient needs antibiotics

I often answer "until they are better"

For decades doctors told patients to finish the course of antibiotics.

Turns out it's better to keep the course as short as possible to prevent resistance.

The economics of antibiotics are broken and superbugs are on the rise–but a solution inspired by the subscription economy could save millions of lives https://t.co/xv4RSmFKon
