Starting with Cefazolin inoculum effect paper, showing no diff in mortality with CZIE vs none, but microbiologic eradication was higher without.

What is the optimal duration of antibiotics after ERCP decompression for cholangitis?

The #UEGWeek 2026 top abstract prize goes to Anouk Overdevest for her work on the COBRA trial, which shows that 1 day of antibiotic is non-inferior to 4-7 day courses 👏🏆

🔥 Brilliants minds debate oral fosfomycin for complicated UTI including pyelonephritis. With increasing ESBLs, we need options for UTI beyond cystitis. Oral fosfomycin is an appealing option, but is it ok for infection outside the bladder?

✅ Reciente publicación en The Lancet para recordar algo que es el Karma de los infectologos: la orina NO es estéril 🆘

Incluso destacan como el urobioma mantiene a raya a bacterias que de otra forma si serían patogenas. El Dx de ITU requiere SIEMPRE un contexto adecuado.

In a randomized trial involving adults who received local antibiotics during surgery for orthopedic infection, a short duration of systemic antibiotics was noninferior to a long duration regarding treatment failure at 12 months. Full SOLARIO trial results: https://t.co/4uIUCFkH1r

🚨 Can we treat Pneumocystis pneumonia without co-trimoxazole? In our study of 14 patients unable to receive standard therapy, echinocandin + clindamycin achieved clinical cure in 13/14. A promising alternative when TMP-SMX is not feasible.

@PaulSaxMD Hard benefits in outpatients have been overstated and oversold too.

You get better about 17 hours faster. You trade that for ~ 1 in 6 chance for vomiting

Keep you out of hospital? Too small effect size to detect (if it even exists)

Words matter!
It’s very frustrating that I’m still encountering the term “oral step-down” in major ID journals.
Let’s replace it with stewardship-aligned terms:
IV to oral switch
Oral transition or transitional therapy.
Streamlining
“Step-down” implies inferiority of oral antibiotics.
Time to stop using this term in ID journals—authors, editors, reviewers. #IDXposts

Nunca se había aleatorizado el oseltamivir en el paciente crítico con influenza.

REMAP-CAP acaba de hacerlo.

Y el resultado no solo es "no funciona": es probable que aumente la mortalidad a 90 días.
