  1. So good. Have spent years fighting this fight, with hand tied behind my back by lack of great evidence. This study is going to get quoted and cited in microbiology MDTs the world over +++ #IDSky #ClinMicro #AMR

  2. Interesting description of heteroresistance to piptaz, but from a highly monitored patient in a clinical trial. And was not associated with treatment failure Most patients don't have post-antibiotic microbiology samples, so maybe this happens commonly (& inconsequentially) #IDSky #ClinMicro #UTISky

  3. Important piece of work that guides much of our OPAT practice in UK. It's also impressive in its acceptance of the evidence. Literally the guideline for use of IV antibiotics is advocating for use of oral antibiotics instead! 👏 #IDSky #ClinMicro #AMR #OPAT

  4. For those that don't know (included me!), Gremubamab binds specifically to the Pseudomonas aeruginosa PcrV protein and the Psl exopolysaccharide. Both are virulence factors used for adhesion and biofilm stability. Thanks @[email protected] ! #ESCMIDGlobal2026 #IDSky #ClinMicro

  5. "Among 5121 participants assessed, 1573 (30.7%) underwent DOC, of which 1502 (95.5%) were delabeled." - that's a lot of penicillin allergy mislabelling out there! 😲 However... DOC.. more likely to be prescribed penicillin and less likely WHO “Watch” or “Reserve” antibiotics #IDSky #ClinMicro #AMR

  6. We do quite a lot of antibiotic self administration in OPAT. Massive win if it can be achieved - lower requirements on hospital / community nurses & big autonomy win for the patients and their families. #OPAT #IDSky #ClinMicro

  7. The Widal test drives typhoid over diagnosis and, by extension, unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions. Good piece in @[email protected] #IDSky #ClinMicro #AMR

  8. Important letter in @[email protected] on use of cefalexin in treating pyelonephritis. Is it effective? What's the right dose? 🤷‍♂️ Key quote... 👉 "Critically, there are no EUCAST breakpoints for cefalexin for systemic infection including acute pyelonephritis." #IDSky #ClinMicro #AMR #UTISky

  9. Plasma cell free metagenomic sequencing to predict / diagnose blood stream infections. Neat & promising observational data. Even if unsurprising, remarkable to see increased detection of microbial genomic material as diagnosis nears. @[email protected] #IDSky #ClinMicro #UTISky #MedSky

  11. Unexpected Friday bonus - new paper out (NOT peer reviewed)! Standardised antibiotic spectrum scores to: - quantify impact of antimicrobial stewardship rounds - prioritise patients for stewardship review Co-lead @[email protected] #IDSky #AMS #ClinMicro wellcomeopenresearch.org/articles/11-...

  13. This is an interesting scheme - making compelling journal submissions is hard, and early rejections are often met with little to no feedback. Nice to see a journal offering to make this a learning process for early career researchers. @[email protected] #IDSky #MedSky #ClinMicro #AcademicSky

  14. Other than jumbling up what acronyms like OPAT and COPATusually stand for in my world, this was a good study with a clear, if expected, message on safety benefit of oral antibiotics. #IDSky #ClinMicro #medsky

  15. I like this v much. Learning from radiation safety to minimise harm (personal & societal) of antibiotics #IDSky #MedSky #ClinMicro #AMR "ALARA in Antimicrobial Stewardship: Adapting Radiation Safety Principles to Address Antibiotic Overuse" @[email protected] academic.oup.com/cid/advance-...

  16. Still trying to get my head round what this model is predicting, as usually at least some clinical information is provided with microbiology samples. #AI #IDSky #ClinMicro #UTISky #AMR @[email protected] academic.oup.com/jac/advance-...

  17. Can't say I've even ever heard of cefdinir, probably cos we can't get it. But maybe we don't want it anyway! 😉 👇 #IDSky #ClinMicro #UTISky

  19. Love this. 😍 BLING randomised trials showed benefit of continuous antibiotic infusion, and there you go, change in practice is delivered! 👏 @ics-updates.bsky.social @biainfection.bsky.social #IDSky #ClinMicro #sepsis

  20. At first seems like comparing apples and oranges: moxifloxacin vs vancomycin?! Results a bit surprising ("narrow spectrum" vancomycin change microbiome more), but this is just helicopter view. More broadly, 👏 to these experimental medicine approaches for discovery science #IDSky #ClinMicro #AMR

  21. Single centre, but evidence for use of metagenomics in clinical practice is building. Discrpanacy between current gold standard diagnostics is intriguing. Which is the false +ve or -ve result? Interesting to see if / how impacts clinical practice, including cost-benefit analysis #IDSky #ClinMicro
