Can't say I've even ever heard of cefdinir, probably cos we can't get it. But maybe we don't want it anyway! 😉 👇 #IDSky #ClinMicro #UTISky

Love this. 😍 BLING randomised trials showed benefit of continuous antibiotic infusion, and there you go, change in practice is delivered! 👏 @ics-updates.bsky.social @biainfection.bsky.social #IDSky #ClinMicro #sepsis

At first seems like comparing apples and oranges: moxifloxacin vs vancomycin?! Results a bit surprising ("narrow spectrum" vancomycin change microbiome more), but this is just helicopter view. More broadly, 👏 to these experimental medicine approaches for discovery science #IDSky #ClinMicro #AMR

Single centre, but evidence for use of metagenomics in clinical practice is building. Discrpanacy between current gold standard diagnostics is intriguing. Which is the false +ve or -ve result? Interesting to see if / how impacts clinical practice, including cost-benefit analysis #IDSky #ClinMicro

We are on to day 3 of the #IMMEM conference in Porto after some great talks and the first poster session featuring the research that's being done by our community! Today we'll be covering environmental surveillance for #ID and #AMR and how best to share pathogen data. #IDsky #clinmicro
Day 1 of the #IMMEM XIV conference is in the books! Today we will cover implementation of genomics as it helps to support public health and inform on vaccine strategy as well as what’s new in bioinformatics. #MicrobialTyping #Genomics #clinmicro #IDSky
Excited to kick off #IMMEMXIV in Porto, Portugal with the first session focusing on #plasmid typing for surveillance! A fantastic session thanks to our 5 great speakers and now we are going into the first debate session on strain typing in high-income vs low-resource settings. #IDSky #clinmicro
The draft document "Surviving Sepsis Campaign: International Guidelines for Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock 2026" is now available for public consultation. ESCMID members wishing to participate can learn more on our website.
