Does anyone have a nice picture of an e-test for aztreonam versus an e-test aztreonam-avibactam for MBL to use in a blog post? Will give you credit. Appreciate the consideration!

once again looking for a package insert... anyone have one for #Pivya #Pevmecillinam for the FDA approval?

Found this one for Selexid, a Canadian product of the drug pdf.hres.ca/dpd_pm/0007061…

🔥U.S. FDA approved Pivya (pivmecillinam) tablets for the treatment of female adults with uncomplicated urinary tract infections caused by susceptible isolates of Escherichia coli [inc ESBL],Proteus mirabilis & Staphylococcus saprophyticus🔥 #Idxposts fda.gov/news-events/pr…

Aztreonam-avibactam approved in Europe. Will be a welcome addition to our armamentarium against MBLs. investors.pfizer.com/Investors/News…

Alright, how about treatment?

Amp-sulbactam first line for us.

Why not Ceftriaxone?

Need Ceftriaxone for intra-ab infxns - when narrower spectrum, less ESBL/VRE selecting, and less C diff causing Amp-sulbactam works just as well for PNA bugs, use that.

ONE ANTIBIOTIC PK TABLE TO RULE THEM ALL

Absorption takes drug into blood from GI,
Vd spreads drug out to where bug calls home.
And after bacteria are doomed to die,
They’re mostly eliminated on the porcelain throne

In the Land of Notion where this table doth lie.

#PITT_ID24 A great article demonstrating the role pharmacists can have in antibiotic stewardship and improving affordability.

Required repetitive education is not painful at all.

I know it’s important, doesn’t make it less painful though!
