New evidence shows Buruli ulcer risk can be reduced by 80% through mosquito control in urban environments. A Melb study found specialised traps reduced mosquito numbers and led to fewer infections, offering a public health strategy ahead of spring/summer.

The SNAP trial may finally resolve some of the longest-running debates in SAB management (cefazolin vs semi-synthetic PCN? Is PCN really active vs PSSA?).
Congrats to @syctong @Josh_S_Davis, and the global team who made this ambitious trial happen. blogs.jwatch.org/hiv-id-obse…

We had a hospitalist who always had the lowest length of stay. We asked him how he did it:

While many hospitalists with super low length of stays often send patients home begrudgingly, that daily conversation kept them on the same page and discharges went smoothly.
