Clinical characteristics of 159 episodes of Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis bacteremia from November 2015 to November 2019 in Pirkanmaa Health District, Finland. Differences between specific emm type compared with all other episodes were tested using the Mann-Whitney U-test, Pearson χ² test (marked as *), or Fisher’s exact test. The numbers are bolded if P <0.05.

Proposed algorithm for the evaluation and management of SAB, modified with permission from Kouijzer et al [5]. All patients should undergo a standardized minimum evaluationa (thorough history and examination, repeat blood cultures, and TTE) that serves to stratify risk of metastatic foci. In those determined to have low-risk SAB (see below), additional workup can potentially be deferred. In those with indeterminant or high-risk SAB, additional evaluationb (guided by the patient's clinical features)

Here is a #phage cocktail to treat a patient (just behind this door) with a life-threathening aortic #graft #infection and S. aureus #bacteremia. Administered intravenously in combination with #antibiotics, we hope that it will help to control this #biofilm-associated infection!

My pleasure to talk today at 6pm CET in Barcelona @hospitalclinic about #phagetherapy for #staphaureus infections with my friend Dr. A. Soriano. #bacteriophages are so promising for #prostheticjointinfections, but also for #bacteremia and #endocarditis! ➡️
