🆕 NEW to the SSC 2026 guidelines: Candida fungal biomarkers to initiate or stop anti-fungal therapy!
#ESCMIDGlobal2026 #antifungal #sepsis #survivingsepsis
🩸The Surviving Sepsis Campaign group recently updated their guidelines in 2026!
⏱️ Dr. Willem Joost Wiersinga helps us review the timing and duration of antibiotic administration!

April 📆is #nationalminorityhealthmonth, let's all Be the Source for Better Health👍!
💊 Dr. Ili Margalit presents key antimicrobial agents for TB, NTM, and Novartis infections! Great review especially with recent updates in TB management and the addition of Moxifloxacin to recommended regimens.
#ESCMIDGlobal2026 #IDXPosts #TB #nocardia
⭐️ Excellent table from Dr. Giusey Tiseo outlining key studies researching IV-to-PO stepdown!
🏥 All three studies showed a decreased LOS in the IV-to-PO stepdown group!
#ESCMIDGlobal2026 #IDXPosts #IVtoPO #Stepdowntherapy
🔬 Poster sessions started today!!! Who else is here to learn more about the AWESOME research that’s going on?! 🙋🏻♂️🙋🏼♀️

🧪 Great review on severe community-acquired MRSA and PSAR pneumonia risk factors by Dr. Pedro Povoa!
#ESCMIDGlobal2026 #IDXPosts #Pneumonia
🤔 Do you use ciprofloxacin TDM at your institution?
🔬 Dr. Koch presents excellent research showing how 400 mg TID may not be sufficient in reaching appropriate levels in the body!
#IDXPosts #ESCMIDGlobal2026 #PKPD #Research
🧠 Penetration ability of drugs greatly affects the concentration at difficult to reach infection sites like the CSF!
💥 Mind-blowing to see how a serum concentration of 30 mg/L was equivalent to just 4 mg/L in the CSF in Dr. König’s case!
#PKPD #IDXPosts #ESCMIDGlobal2026
📊 Recent data published in critical care journals recommend assessing Volume of Distribution (Vd) for loading doses and clearance (CL) for maintenance doses.
‼️ There are so many factors to consider with CRRT patients including protein binding, Vd, CL, and PD of drugs!
#PKPD
📈 PK/PD of drugs is a key consideration in appropriate antimicrobial dosing, especially in special populations!
➡️ Very excited for Drs. Christina König and Brigit Koch for brining us through this insightful journey!
#ESCMIDGlobal2026 #IDXPosts #PKPD #Research
☠️ Mortality is not enough!
🔬Several other factors are just as important to look at with clinical research!
#IDXPosts #ESCMIDGlobal2026 #research
Infectious diseases research endpoints such as mortality are the most common outcomes observed.
But what if we don’t have to use mortality all the time?
Drs. Calbo and Katsounas provided excellent info on ways we can include other outcomes in research!

🚨 STI Awareness Week is here!
📊According to the CDC, about 1/5 of the U.S. had an STI on any given day in 2018.
💰 STI associated healthcare costs were nearly $16 billion!
Learn more about how STIs impact our lives and help reduce the stigma for treatment!

Reminder early bird registration ends tomorrow!
🚨 RAD RESEARCH ALERT! 🚨
🦠 C. diff infection remains a major healthcare burden.
🔬 Keenan and colleagues found that giving the prostaglandin analog misoprostol in mice helps reduces CDI severity and improve outcomes via decreased inflammation!
#radresearch #cdiff #science
David Cluck emphasizes the unknowns and lack of quality data.
Cynthia Nguyen @cynth-id.bsky.social says to respect how challenging biofilm-embedded bacteria are to eradicate. Dormant persister cells are responsible for recalcitrant infections.
ID pharmacists (and ID PRN members) debate suppressive antibiotic therapy (SAT) for PJI, VGI, and CIEDI at #SHEASpring2026! When is it indicated? How long should we continue SAT? And where does stewardship fit in?
