Antimicrobial stewardship pharmacist/ oncology experience… ID is my passion 🧫💊

This is what happens when societal guidance starts driving a new standard of care based on opinion rather than evidence. What has changed since 2024 that should lead clinicians around the world to start using cefiderocol instead of Bactrim, a drug we’ve used for decades with success? Has there been new clinical outcomes data or a meaningful change in in vitro susceptibility patterns worldwide? No. The answer seems to be simply: because IDSA 2026 AMR guidance said so.
Check out this study just published
Bactrim susceptibility 97.1% : Multinational surveillance program: US + Europe

Please stop prescribing clindamycin. Your patients are failing outpatient therapy and coming into the ER.

Cystatin C is a better marker of renal function than serum creatinine in early stages of AKI and is less affected by age, gender, muscle mass, and ethnicity.
Is concomitant use of vancomycin and beta-lactam associated with changes in Cystatin C? Great question, glad you asked!
