💊Time to learn some #antibiotics! So many to learn in #clinicalmicrobiology, so little time!😅So I'm starting from the basics 🧱+ building on it🏡. Will share as I learn, so others can have an intro resource 🔖. Input/corrections welcome + appreciated! 🙏

Great perspective piece from @NEJM that #IDTwitter will relate:

Congrats, #Cameroon, on kicking off #malaria vaccination today.

🇨🇲 is one the most affected countries by malaria, with over 3 million cases & over 3800 deaths in 2021.

@WHO welcomes 🇨🇲’s commitment and stands ready to support all efforts to #EndMalaria.

I don't get paid by @BioRender, but I am so excited about the biorender + powerpoint joint. We can now update our biorender images in powerpoint with just one click, no more exporting, copying and pasting 🔄

@warbler_works Also from the 70s: a glass bottle of “skim milk” - but it was neon orange and weirdly gelatinous…

As an academic writing coach, here are the 7 mistakes I see supervisors and PIs make in the process of co-writing a paper with their PhD students or mentees.

Urease positive yeast found from a respiratory specimen 🫁! What do you suspect it could be, and what special agars would help you?

[Dr. Natalie Marshall, PhD, D(ABMM), FCCM🔬👩‍🔬🤯 @MicrobeNat]

@JuliaDHankins Superb mnemonic!! 👌

[Julia Hankins, PhD, D(ABMM) @JuliaDHankins]

To remember which ones they grow on use greek prefixes and roman numerals.
And hemolyticus means its hemolytic

H. ducreyi (D like "deca") = needs X

H. parainfluenzae and H. parahemolyticus (P like "penta") = needs V

H. influenzae and H. hemolyticus = require both X and V

[Julia Hankins, PhD, D(ABMM) @JuliaDHankins]

Twitter is now "X" but the real X is hemin on Haemophilus quad plates! Different Haemophilus species require X (hemin) and/or V (NAD) factors to grow. Each quad on the plate has different media, so you can ID the species based on the growth pattern (see memory helper below)
