Vibrio, Toxo, HAV, Norovirus.
Anything that can contaminate water ways and then build up in bivalves and reproduce can cause outbreaks… mussels and oysters… they just drink up the salt water nutrients, poop and all ;)

Next draft Infection Card for Epipocalypse: Bug Detectives: Nocardia!

One of my favs. Doesn't get enough love. The other group of organisms causing chronic CNS + pulmonary syndromes besides TB and fungi.

#IDSky #MedSky #EpiSky any feedback or suggestions?

God…. Thank you for @glaucomflecken.bsky.social
Every IM & ICU rounds with nephrology and every time someone ordered urine chemistries and serum osmolalities…
Did it change your clinical management…? Did it? DID IT, ABIM EXAM?

I appreciate IV APAP, but unfortunately it also leads to mutations…
But yea, stuff WORKS for pain and fevers! “Surgeons only,” such BS

Couldn’t agree more!
Don’t know how I could tell people to sit at home febrile but unable to mitigate their fevers, etc.

Is the new @natmicrobiol.nature.com study about Cipro and NSAIDs and APAP, is this practice changing for you?
Reply:
1 yes!
2 …ehhhhh…
3 need in vivo data
4 what study..?

Joseph Marcus @josephmarcusid.medsky.social · Aug 26

Combining ibuprofen or acetaminophen with ciprofloxacin in vitro greatly increases mutagenesis for genes leading to cipro-resistance.

(Not the case for diclofenac, furosemide, metformin, atorvastatin, tramadol, temazepam, and pseudoephedrine)

My thoughts exactly..!

I mean… fever control with pneumonia or UTI… how OFTEN are we giving NSAIDs and APAP..?!

Cool. Can we skip fellowship now? Just apprentice as physicians? Why do ANY medical training AT ALL?!

What is this assault on physicians? Be willing to staff appropriately. Let an IM or FP or EM PHYSICIAN take a bronch course and cover the ICU before an NPP!!

Plan to continue the Doxy for three months. Bactrim is generally more noted as primary with Doxy as alternative therapy for eradication, the taxes are much more benign, chronic drug than Bactrim.

Ceftazidime may work for uncomplicated pneumonia, would recommend Merrem plus Doxy if concern for shock with AMS to get better CNS penetration.

So from that standpoint, take it with a grain of salt. But I would be concerned if you start seeing a typical pneumonia that are not responding to our typical CAP/HAP coverage.

If so, throw on your BDLS hats and notify those responsible in your chain. I’d be most concerned, obviously for Texas at this moment. I am not and have never been, however, a disaster response physician, or Director.

I bring this up so that everyone has their radar up for typical pneumonia if they suddenly show up in a cluster.

Yes, #melioidosis can be used as a bioterrorism option. But as I mentioned in the text messages, there was one or a small number of cases from the Midwest (Ohio?) a few years back (2021?) linked to an essential oils product out of Walmart imported from Southeast Asia.

Hello physician community. And especially our emergency, infectious diseases, pulmonary docs.

Had a friend reach out about a case in Texas of Melioidosis (Burkholderia pseudomallei) in a patient without a travel history.
