Proven in vitro susceptibility based on breakpoints at the time of culture collection was required for inclusion! Pulling exact MIC data is also on our wish list

Check out the incredible work of our members at #ESCMIDGlobal 2025 including Dr. Nicole Slain as she shares insight on how cefepime compares to carbapenem therapy for deep-seated Amp-C producing infections! 🦠 @ashlan-kunz-coyne.bsky.social

Presenting my research in Austria wasn’t on the bingo card for PGY-2 year, but with great mentorship here I am!

We found no difference in primary endpoint of 30-day clinical failure for patients receiving combo (n=91) vs mono (n=99) therapy for monomicrobial, deep-seated S maltophilia infections

Step 3: antibiotic!

Using meropenem-vaborbactam for this KPC-3 Enterobacter cloacae. Started with a loading dose over 30 minutes, then doing 3-hour extended infusions every 8 hours with the syringe pump.

Yes - I feel overwhelmed in large crowds. The inoculum effect applies directly to me 😂

Step 2: set up the SEV model

This ex vivo model is a controlled environment that represents infective endocarditis within the central compartment (where those vegetations with E. cloacae are hanging out)

I’m team CRO… but realizing that it often gets confused with “carbapenem resistant organism” which is how our lab will report it out for those organisms

Clinda for the kids #pedsID #IDsky

Learning about SEV (simulated endocardial vegetation) models! ID pharmacy residents at UK can spend a month in the PK/PD lab at the college and learn how to do bench top studies.

Step 1: make the clot, then inoculate it with organism (working with Enterobacter cloacae with KPC-3)
