Loved this talk on precision stewardship!

Brandon Webb speaking on Precision Stewardship.

When we're short staffed, how can we be more efficient and prioritize efforts for the most benefit?

Things that keep me up at night…

[Paul Adamson MD MPH @PAdamsonMD]

Cases of #gonorrhea are 📈- more than 1,900 infections/day in the US!

Half of the infections are resistant to 1 or more #antibiotics. Fortunately, nearly all isolates remain susceptible to #ceftriaxone, our last remaining option for empiric treatment #AMR

#STIWeek #STDReport

Great people, great conference, great flowers.

Thrilled to partner with @alliancecchs and @Payal_Patel @Intermountain on this project to improve care for kids with ear infections. #idtwitter https://t.co/GjFq3IxIvb.

A key opportunity for outpatient stewies to improve care for children in a way that really improves the lives of kids and parents. #idtwitter

One avenue we are exploring to improve care for kids with ear infections @DHHA_Research #idtwitter #amr #AOM

[ASHE Journal @ASHE_Journal]

From @HFrostLab: A nasopharyngeal rapid diagnostic test for ear infections in children could help individualize care, reduce unnecessary antibiotic use, and be cost-effective. #stewardship #idtwitter #pediatrics https://t.co/PnP62hwJXp

Investigators should submit the playlist they used to write their grant so reviewers can get the immersive experience while reviewing.

[Holly Frost @HFrostLab]

@ABsteward I think we should temper this to:
Shorter is often better, less is sometimes more, Oral is the new IV for many patients. Patients don’t follow rulebooks.

[Holly Frost @HFrostLab]

#Oasis audit and feedback code packets for #AOM went out to public health and health system partners. Here’s to #simplifyingstewardship and not reinventing the wheel. @KidDocNic @ChristineMacBr1 #IDTwitter

Great paper-awesome title.

MALICE IN CHAINS: “#StrepA was bad before the pandemic, is bad now, and will remain bad until we have a vaccine to reduce the enormous public health burden of life-threatening fast (iGAS) and slow (RHD) streptococcal diseases.” https://t.co/lOFjSyuR35

@MSemret @GermHunterMD Not relevant for duration but more recent studies show mediocre association between emm type and arf…sadly. Otherwise we could just include emm type in pcr rdts.

[Holly Frost @HFrostLab]

@BradSpellberg @GermHunterMD We need to better understand WHY kids get arf so we can identify at risk kids. If microorganism based (or mostly) we could add to molecular diagnostics or do better surveillance.

[Holly Frost @HFrostLab]

@PedsPharmD @GermHunterMD Too hard to power a trial- 1 in 1.4 million risk of arf with no tx and 16 hour symptom difference between 0 and 10 days. Not clear eradication is a good endpoint.

Journals banning use of AI by authors but then using AI to screen submissions without transparency seems problematic…
