Amazing 😍 🔥SHORTEN 2 RCT A 7-day treatment course is superior to 14 days for uncomplicated Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteremia, achieving similar clinical response rates with lower antibiotic exposure, fewer superinfections, and fewer serious adverse events #idsky @shorten2trial.bsky.social

😲 On IG and TikTok this video of @mgilchrist123.bsky.social and I has over 27 cumulative days of watch time, over about 72 hours. #IDsky

Some #MADIDxSIDP2026 highlights. Forever grateful for @sidpharm.bsky.social @mad-id.bsky.social reading my ridiculous email proposing an OPAT workshop & running with it 😱 Great to network, learn, reconnect & of course 🎢 Now ....back to the real world (...until the next #OPATworkshop amirite??)

🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓 Amazing experience to be there for the first @mad-id.bsky.social x @sidpharm.bsky.social meeting #Antimicrobials over the last few days. If you missed it, here are a few nuggets I picked up… 📲 www.idstewardship.com/pearls-for-a...

#MADIDxSIDP2026 bonus! Got to meet @idstewardship.bsky.social and @letstalkmicro.bsky.social, makers of great ID educational resources (check out their website and podcasts respectively). And apparently #ATS2026 is just next door. Come by and say hi too!

I stole all the @pharmageddon.bsky.social games at #Antimicrobials hope I don’t get caught!! Not really stolen of course, but super cool to meet IRL!

🤓 Excited to get to hang out with amazing people here at MAD-ID x SIDP!!

The 2026 #ScienceSymposium is coming up! I've updated the Make Your Own Antibiotic worksheet and I've introduced a new Antibiotic or Pokemon game (some of these stumped me!) The 3rd activity will be a bean bag (antibiotic) toss at cans (bacteria) based on antibiogram. That's a project for next week

Super interesting: Ceftriaxone-R E.coli / K.pneumoniae BSI(n=163) 2022-24 🧬blaCTX-M+:85.3% 🧬 No-blaCTX-M:14.7% ⚠️🔼 No-blaCTX-M ceftriaxone R ⏱ CTX-M+:faster optimal therapy 💡 Molecular testing still useful for ESBL detection→ always confirm with AST #idsky academic.oup.com/ofid/article...

Thanks for the shoutout, @idstewardship.bsky.social! Let’s do it, stewies! 😉 journals.asm.org/doi/epub/10.... #AMSsky #IDsky

Joining one of my favorite meetings this morning: the Provincial Antimicrobial Stewardship Committee. It’s virtual but still gotta dress for the part 😅💁🏻‍♀️ #IDSky #AMSSky #PharmSky

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

Happy Earth Day, and switch to PO! 🌱💊 #IDSky #MedSky #PharmSky @sustainabil-id.bsky.social

Screening patients for colonisation of drug resistant organisms can help reduce carbapenem use and duration of antibiotics in febrile neutropenia #escmidglobal2026

David Paterson at #ESCMIDGlobal2026 Highlights important issue of generic versus brand name meropenem – previous work has suggested chemical differences, harder to dissolve and even higher mortality with generic preparations

“The Year in Clinical Micro” at #ESCMIDGlobal2026 🔬 A devastating reality: ⚠️ >3 million children died from AMR-related infections in 2022 🌍 Highest burden in Southeast Asia & Africa 💊 Many deaths linked to Watch & Reserve antibiotics AMR is already a leading cause of child mortality.

Now @erinmccreary.bsky.social is speaking to a packed house on podcasting in infectious diseases, with photo of her and Ryan Shields recording the first #Breakpoints podcast in 2018 @sidpharm.bsky.social #ESCMIDGlobal2026

Despite its worldwide prevalence, research about #UTI is sparse here at #ESCMIDGlobal2026. But managed to find a concentrated mini-population of researchers at the poster session niche—enriched for the London strain, but quite a small sample size, p values not reaching significance! #UTISky #IDSky

💊Antibiotic shortages - they are a problem! Here is a fantastic poster from #ESCMIdglobal2026 that discusses the issue! cc @escmid.bsky.social @krutikakuppalli.bsky.social @absteward.bsky.social @drneilstone.bsky.social

🤔🤔 Daptomycin - are premixed bags the way to go when doses vary by weight, organism, and infection type? #ESCMIDglobal2026 trying these new videos with posters as a social media ambassador for the Congress. Any feedback or suggestions are always appreciated! cc @escmid.bsky.social

It helps me to remember that imposter syndrome relies on circular logic: if you're a fraud then you must have outsmarted everyone.

The economic case for IPC. Per @who.int: every $1 invested in hand hygiene yields $24.60 in economic gain. Global IPC implementation could generate $112B in healthcare savings + $124B in economic gains. IPC is one of the smartest investments health systems can make. #ESCMIDGlobal2026

Key IPC takeaways from #ESCMIDGlobal2026 👀 🔹 Quality > compliance (hand hygiene) 🔹 Gel Nail polish may not ↑ risk 🔹 PICCs: “antimicrobial” ≠ better 🔹 Gowns: limited added value 🔹 PPE ↓ possible without ↑ infections 🔹 Microplastics → emerging AMR risk Data should drive practice.

Gowns & respiratory viruses—nuance matters👀 🔹 HCW clothing contamination common; viruses persist 🔹 Limited protective effect (~29% studies) 🔹 Short-sleeve + good hygiene may be sufficient Are gowns always necessary—or part of the problem? #ESCMIDGlobal2026 #InfectionControl

💬 Editorial: In a multinational trial, #RapidAST did not improve a composite clinical outcome but led to earlier antibiotic optimization and shorter hospitalization in patients with resistant gram‑negative infections. #ESCMIDGlobal2026 ja.ma/4cfubi8

Among patients with #GramNegativeBacteremia, rapid #AntimicrobialSusceptibilityTesting did not improve 30-day clinical outcomes compared with standard testing, despite providing faster guidance for antibiotic escalation or deescalation. #ESCMIDGlobal2026 ja.ma/4sF52lG
