Very useful study of what we all do when a patient has a bacteraemia - see what they had before

www.clinicalmicrobiologyandinfection.org/article/S119...

The 'small five' streptoccoci: S.mutans, S.cristatus, S. gordonii, S. gallolyticus and S. sanguinis account for only 8% of streptoccocal bacteraemis, but ~ 40 % on streptococcal endocarditis

Our meta-analysis here:

Our new study published. We were surprised to see that carriers have a high baseline risk that antibiotics don't add on it. Among non carriers BLBLI posed the highest risk. Overall the conclusion as always is- be judicious: use the shortest regimen and try to avoid unnecessary treatment

Patient’s potassium result was too low

Fired the lab manager

This is an interesting idea - could you share a copy of the poster? I couldn't quite read it. Out of interest, why did you pick e coli?

If you're interested in blood cultures:

Our study of time to laboratory on yield (adjusted for ward structure and baseline positivity) did not show a global adverse effect except for S pneumoniae, S pyogenes, and S dysgalactiae
