ESBL-producing bacteria are a new frontier in antimicrobial research - understanding how our current antibiotics face up against them is crucial to public health. #PITT_IDFall25

Vaccines have repeatedly been proven safe and effective. As pharmacists, we must ensure public health through vaccination. #PITT_IDFall25

Sexually transmitted infections are important to track, regardless of stigma. Just because reported cases are down does not mean that true cases are down, as evidenced by the increase in newborn syphilis. #Pitt_IDFall25

The scientific community is just catching up with discoveries about long COVID. As more research is put out, hopefully treatments for these ailments will be released to the public. #PITT_IDFall25

It is important to know this data as a patient. However, it is also important to not let this become misinformation. Overall, a full course series of the Shingrix vaccine provides protection against a debilitating disease. #PITT_IDFall25

With antibiotic resistance on the rise, novel drugs must keep up to protect people from serious bacterial infections. This combination drug with a novel beta-lactamase inhibitor may prove useful for carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae and P. aeruginosa infections! #PITT_ID25

With antibiotic resistance on the rise, novel drugs must keep up to protect people from serious bacterial infections. This combination drug with a novel beta-lactamase inhibitor may prove useful for carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae and P. aeruginosa infections! #PITT_ID25

With changes in the political climate regarding vaccines, executive orders like these from my home state of New York are reassuring. Vaccines are safe, effective, and prevent public health catastrophes. I am glad New York is following in many other state's footsteps to allow vaccinations! #PITT_ID25

Chikungunya is a viral, mosquito-borne illness that is preventable. If you or someone you know is traveling abroad to where Chikungunya is prevalent, talk to your pharmacist or doctor about a travel consult to receive the vaccine for it (and other preventable diseases!) #PITT_ID25

It's great to be able to see actual studies for things that we learn in class! This study agrees with previous clinical guidelines - influenza antivirals must be started as soon as possible for maximum efficacy! #PITT_ID25

While it may seem obvious, studies like these help to quell any anti-vaccine sentiments. The flu vaccine is and always has been crucial to public health! #PITT_ID25

To be honest, I have never heard of Arbovirus before this article. It is definitely important to understand how viruses shift and change with changing sociocultural factors and climate change, making studies like this crucial. #PITT_ID25

As resistance patterns change, studying the effectiveness of antivirals for HIV becomes increasingly important. I would love to see more studies like this in the future! #PITT_ID25

This is an interesting analysis that directly relates to what we are learning about with different viruses in class! Understanding how a virus is spread is crucial to its prevention and treatment. #PITT_ID25

Now more than ever, we need to fight back against misinformation regarding vaccinations. With measles on the rise, everyone is in danger. #PITT_ID25

As bird flu continues to spread, it is crucial to track antigenic drift throughout the country. Being aware of symptoms as the disease changes is incredibly important. #PITT_ID25

Having established testing practices is critical to preventing the spread of infectious diseases. Research like this keeps progress moving! #PITT_ID25

Yet another reason to go and get vaccinated! In a world of increasing vaccine hesitancy, data like this makes me hopeful that we can get more individuals inoculated against preventable diseases. #PITT_ID25

Doxy-PEP is a novel regimen used to prevent the spread of STIs. The better we are able to track its effectiveness, the more likely it is to do its job! #PITT_ID25

As outbreaks of measles occur, it is even more crucial that researchers stay ahead of the curve in vaccine development. We should always be changing guidelines to reflect current epidemiological standards. #PITT_ID25

Bacteria such as Haemophilis influenzae type A can have unique prevalence in specific populations. It is important to understand these differences as healthcare professionals to best treat our patients. #PITT_ID25

Beyond purely scientific inquiries, studying the cultural impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic is important for understanding how we can improve public health and address previous difficulties. Public trust in the healthcare system is crucial for everyone's protection. #PITT_ID25

It is important to have multiple treatment options for HIV, as it is a particularly serious chronic disease. Having alternative options when resistance is present is crucial to public health. #PITT_ID25

Having efficient and accurate diagnostic methods, such as urine metabolite analyses, is important in antibiotic stewardship as pharmacists. This could potentially be a new standard in healthcare to prevent overprescribing of antimicrobial agents. #PITT_ID25

It is interesting to see how new antibiotics are developed in the research world! Seeing these combination medications is promising, and may help to address treating difficult-to-treat resistance (DTR) organisms. #PITT_ID25
