This is interesting data about the range of respiratory viruses found in patients presenting at Oz pediatric hospital pre-covid. About a quarter +ve >1 virus. Positivity changes throughout the year.

Nearly two-thirds of antibiotics were introduced during the “golden age of antibiotics”—

The “golden age of antibiotics��� lasted from the early 1940s to the late 1960s. It was a period of rapid innovation that transformed medicine. As highlighted in this chart, nearly two-thirds of all antibiotic drug classes were introduced during this period.

Scientists explored natural sources — such as fungi and bacteria — and synthetic sources.

This led to breakthroughs in antibiotics derived from soil-dwelling bacteria, such as streptomycin, tetracyclines, and macrolides, and the mass production of penicillin, which Alexander Fleming discovered in 1928.

However, progress slowed after the 1970s as pharmaceutical companies shifted their focus to chronic diseases. Today, there is a renewed need for innovation to tackle antibiotic resistance.

It is distortion of the findings to conclude that the use of filters resulted in a 22% reduction in infections. It was not a statistically significant reduction.
The study of over 6,000 older people showed NO statistically benefit from using these filters. https://t.co/jKn4pYUwEm

What a brilliant ep, come to hear @Josh_S_Davis attempt an English accent, stay for Free Willy theory and dosing ceftazidime in whales! Excellent clinical discussion from @EllaMeumann and Prof Currie!

Australian take on the Republican National Convention and Trump’s VP pick

[Acyn @Acyn]

VP: I was a courtroom prosecutor. In those roles I took on perpetrators of all kinds. Predators who abused women. Fraudsters who ripped off consumers. Cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. So hear me when I say I know Donald Trump's type.

There has never been a debate with less fact checking from the moderators than this one. Just a complete abdication of responsibility.

The biggest loser of this debate? @CNN. How do you allow lies to be told and not correct them for everyone watching?

Enterococci may not be the main characters in polymicrobial infections, but they can facilitate the pathogenesis of other organisms by different mechanisms
