Grateful to have given a plenary talk at the 15th Annual Department of Medicine Research Day at CWRU this past Friday. It was a privilege to represent our Infectious Diseases Section, led by Dr. Usha Stiefel, and to honor my lifelong mentor, Dr. Robert A. Bonomo

🆕️✨️The largest study to date of patients with Bacteroides spp. Bacteremia
Metronidazole 500mg q12h dosing was not associated with worse outcomes compared to metronidazole 500mgq8h
500mgq12h works for bactremia. It works for other infections, too

New research finds that cefuroxime and sulopenem, when used together, display a significant synergistic effect. @DousaKhalid #mBio journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…
Early success in treating Mycobacterium abscessus pulmonary infections in child—culture conversion in 6 months & cure in 8 months with a regimen including 2 β-lactams. Could a cephem- replace amikacin, similar to what happened with E faecalis IE?

Before any major conference, I can predict who 90% of the invited speakers will be.
That's fine if they are world leaders in the field,or great speakers (ideally both).
And most are.
But some are neither -but they are on the "circuit" and invited over and over and over again
"Just pre-ordered this exciting new book by Arturo Casadevall @ACasadevall1 today – anticipation levels through the roof! 📚🤩 Can't wait to dive into this book #BookPreorder #ExcitedReader"
Exciting news! 🎉 Honored to be invited as a speaker at the #GRCConference.
Can't wait to share insights with fellow researchers.

Long ago, the field of ID could have carved out paid niches in the interpretation of cultures, susceptibilities, etc. (like other specialties do). However, none of that happened and today the specialty can't attract sufficient fellows because other fields are more lucrative.
Because, as @ACasadevall1 taught me years ago, decades ago the ID community failed to work with government and regulators to protect the special expertise unique to ID training. Other specialties were much more proactive in carving out their controlled expertise.
