BREAKING NEWS.
The Global Trial Steering Committee has advised trial sites today that we have closed the PSSA and MSSA silo backbone domains on the advice of the DSMC.
We await data to become available for analysis.

Pro tip;
Never say to nurses in 🏥:
« Yes, I’m ok with a PiccLine if the patient is a hard stick »
They always end up hard stick.

Possibly dumb question. Why do infections like cystitis, beta strep cellulitis or uncomplicated bacterial PNA need more than 1 dose of abx (assuming immune comp)? Incomplete bacterial killing? Dose wouldn't allow fully depleting bug? Could shortest be bestest? @BradSpellberg

Our preliminary results of the first Canadian 🇨🇦 compassionate use of REP-2139 in a patient living with HIV/HBV/HDV.
It is what it is… a case report 🤷♂️
But it slowly adds more data while new randomized studies are about to begin.

Things I do not care about when discussing UA's and urine cultures:
❌Pyuria/Leuk esterase +
❌Nitrites
❌Bacteria on microscopy
❌Growth of bacteria on cultures
Things I do care about:
✅SYMPTOMS
Everything else is just asymptomatic bacteriuria! #IDTwitter #MedTwitter
