Deadline to submit your comments to the FDA is approaching fast (December 4th, 2023). It is crucial that they hear from all of us on the significant impact this proposed ruling would have on our ability to care for our patients. Don’t wait until the last minute! – at Queens, NY
ALT The FDA has a proposed ruling (FDA-2023-N-2177-0001) to amend its regulations to make explicit that in vitro diagnostic products (IVDs) are devices under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) including when the manufacturer of the IVD is a laboratory. The PASCV along with multiple other microbiology and healthcare organizations and societies vehemently opposes this proposed ruling. Below, you will find the link to the letter sent as the official stance of the PASCV as an organization. We ask that you get involved as this directly affects all of us. 1. Please click on this link to place a public or anonymous comment against this proposed ruling. https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/FDA-2023-N-2177-0001 2. Please click this link to determine your federal representative and let them know you oppose this proposed ruling. https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative

Today marks the end of the #COVID19 #PublicHealthEmergency
I want to thank all my colleagues who cared for patients, performed laboratory testing, developed/manufactured new tests, or coordinated the public health response
Your service helped get us to this important milestone

One of our highly creative medical laboratory scientists created this from expired lab supplies during lab week. Bonus points if you can name the organism. I'm sure some of our industry colleagues will recognize their products here :)

Our new @JClinMicro paper describing identification of OPG002 deletion in MPOX that affected MPOX-specific tests, causing false-negatives. This demonstrates importance of genomic surveillance and partnerships between public health labs and clinical labs. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…

In 2020, I implored my med school deans to take student suicidality seriously. I was told to focus less on advocacy. I was told students are so spoiled with benefits these days, what do they have to be depressed about. 2 months later the institution lost a student to suicide…

You can have bacteria sitting in your bladder, growing in your urine, & not have a urinary tract infection the same way you can have bacteria sitting on the top of your skin & not have a skin infection. This is called bacterial colonization.

Unlikely that I’ll be able to keep up, so instead, some gifs to convey the material:

Clostridioides difficile (C. Diff) colitis is exceedingly rare in infants, almost as if they're protected from it.
But why would infants somehow be resistant to C. diff infection?
