Wonderful start to the Iowa Antimicrobial Stewardship Summit learning about CDC efforts! CDC Antimicrobial Resistance Jonathan Ryder, MD Scott Bergman Krista Gens

Excited to share our LTE in response to the recently published NHSN survey data (academic.oup.com/ofid/article/1…) In this Open Forum Infectious Diseases LTE, we emphasize that further stratified data on critical access hospitals (CAHs) would be quite beneficial /thread academic.oup.com/ofid/advance-a…

1/ This week in #IDTwitter Alice Han asked a great question about meropenem-resistant Strep pneumo. UNMC ID ASP recently had a similar question when looking at our antibiogram. So I did a mini-lit review in the form of a #Tweetorial /thread x.com/dralicehan/sta…

Dalbavancin non-inferior to SOC in complicated SAB. Big spoiler for the highly anticipated DOTS trial. Can't wait to see these data presented next week! @ECCMID2024 Antibiotic Steward Bassam Ghanem 🅱️C🆔🅿️🌟

This survey describes the AMS practices currently employed by OPAT programs across the US. Institutions may reference the results to advance the AMS practices of their OPAT programs to meet TJC Outpatient AMS standards. #MADID2024 MAD-ID The Antimicrobial Stewardship Meeting®️ SIDP Sara Azimi, PharmD, BCIDP

At SHEA last year, many saw/commented on our poster about increased cefazolin prescribing after suppression of non-severe penicillin allergy alerts in our EMR, and now the manuscript has been published by ICHE! @unmc_ID | bit.ly/3UrSWNK

The UNMC ID Antimicrobial Stewardship Program has updated local guidance on skin & soft tissue infections as well as diabetes-related foot infections. I wrote a blog article highlighting why we made these changes, based on updated literature: blog.unmc.edu/infectious-dis…

Congrats to all the graduates! I am proud to coordinate a terrific team of ID pharmacists @unmc_ID who were voted APPE preceptor site of the year by the Class of 2024 UNMC COP including Molly Miller Jenna Preusker Bryan Alexander Jeremy Tigh

🆕️🔥Cohort study that has the largest international registry-based meta-analysis performed to date JAMA Network Open The risk of revision for PJI was similar between antibiotic-loaded bone cement and plain bone cement following primary TKA #idxposts jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

Excited to finally see a large-scale registry trial that shows no difference for no ABX cement in primary TKA. NNT = many hundreds! Definitely still some confounding and heterogeneity in a huge registry trial like this, but unlikely to get a RCT here. Can Ortho be convinced? 👀🙂

🔥Hot off the press!🔥 ➡️Results of a national survey of OPATs describing their AMS practices! Programs may use the results to meet Joint Commission Outpatient AMS Standards ⬅️ Esther Golnabi, Rebekah H. Wrenn, Michael J. Parisi Mercado, Ardath Plauche academic.oup.com/ofid/advance-a…

🚨 Help us make a list! What are your fav educational OPAT resources for patients or providers? 🙏 #IDtwitterx #TwitteRx #IDxPosts We are trying to make a list of all the best outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy resources. Some up for review so far:

Thank you Nebraska ID Society and UNMC ID for inviting me to keynote at your annual meeting. Loved discussing the intersection of public health and academia, and sharing the innovative approaches we are taking in St. Louis. So impressed by the quality of posters as a judge too!

Soooo excited to hear Laura Marks talking about the intersection of IDU and Staph aureus. @WashUID 🥳🥳woot woot 🥳🥳 She is a national leader in this area we should all try to emulate.

Using this data, we built a local genotypic antibiogram. This informs our ASP recommendations for which agents to use for these organisms based on BCID2 results. Genotypic antibiograms are a great addition to routine antibiograms to better inform antibiotic selection.

IDWeek ACCP INFD PRN Molly Miller, Scott Bergman, RichardHankins, brook show RX rates for pts w/ discordant CDI results were significantly lower after order of testing changed & when negative toxin result was presented last #IDWeek2024 #SIDP2024 IDWeek @sidpharm ACCP INFD PRN (3/6)

.UNMC COP student Gabe Codling has 60 SECONDS to explain his poster on doxyPEP usage. 😅 #IDWeek2024

We’re excited to celebrate the #PowerOfRural on #NationalRuralHealthDay! Join us in recognizing the spirit of #rural America and the efforts of healthcare providers and stakeholders addressing unique #healthcare challenges.

Our new paper on vancomycin AUC dosing in obesity is out. Rates of AKI were lower in the AUC group compared to the trough group (11.3% versus 25.2%, p<0.001). This work was led by Corey Guidry, PharmD, BCPS . Emily Siegrist was on it as well. Antibiotic Steward Bassam Ghanem 🅱️C🆔🅿️🌟
