@jfsisaacs5 @SuperBugDoc @IdVilchez @ArunaSubraman12 @StanDeresinski @Marisa_Holubar I would do Linezolid. Although there is data for dapto + beta lactams combos in this scenario, it’s hard to ignore a S linezolid result and I haven’t seen a definitive benefit yet.

[Dr Roy Chemaly @ChemalyRoy]

We are trying to discourage its use in this kind of scenarios as it could be more common then R/R CMV infections. Let’s wait for the 302 study results evaluating MBV for PET before we can move in this direction. @KottonNelson @EmilyBlumbergMD @RazonableMD @GenPapaMD

@serotavirus @OncIDPharmd @safabric @Weavofloxacin @IdVilchez Lol maybe now that Sam said it, I won’t need to add it to the formulary 🎉

I don’t know who needs to hear this but, there’s a >90% chance that your patient with COVID-19 pneumonia does not need antibiotics.

[Rossana Rosa MD MSc FIDSA @DrRossanaRosa]

If every antibiotic prescription required an Informed Consent and Initial Intake Forms then we might fix overprescribing, AMR and C diff 🙄😓

We love a stoplight table! Check out this great summary made by @moore_wjustin of PsA resistance 🦠 to beta-lactams from the recent #Breakpoints discussion with @erinmccreary, @MaggieMonogue, and @aoliverp73. Then listen to the episode for all the details: https://t.co/ez0n3ae0fR
