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

Listening to @drneilstone.bsky.social talk about Twitter vs Bluesky in Arena 3: Says don’t concede space in Twitter to anti-science influencers #ESCMIDGlobal2026 #IDSky #clinmicro

📊 Looking at Bluesky and X, the science community is still stronger on X from what I’m seeing with #ESCMIDglobal2026 content cc: @absteward.bsky.social @krutikamh.bsky.social @drneilstone.bsky.social

“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

A post applicable way beyond just #ESCMIDGlobal2026! 👇 #MedSky #AcademicSky

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

🙌 🚪 Great talk and I’m feeling very encouraged and way more informed about DOOR from the talks at #ESCMIDglobal2026 …Advocacy to use this tool is loud and clear!! @josemolinagb.bsky.social @escmid.bsky.social @absteward.bsky.social @krutikakuppalli.bsky.social @drneilstone.bsky.social

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

⭐️The clinician category is spot on! Documented uncertainty = high willingness to avoid use #ESCMIDglobal2026

Education Friday at #ESCMIDGlobal2026 is a full day focused entirely on learning, with programme tracks for different interests & levels. Alongside this, interactive small-group sessions offer hands-on opportunities to build practical skills and deepen real-world understanding.

Excited to be in #Munich for #ESCMIDGlobal 2026! Honored to serve as a social media ambassador this year - I’ll be live posting key sessions and takeaways throughout the meeting. If you’re presenting and would like your work highlighted, feel free to reach out. Looking forward to a great week!
