Our latest "Editors in Conversation" podcast with @andreaprinzi, @HandshakeASP and co-host @ETheelPhD. How Can Clinical Microbiology Labs Contribute to Antimicrobial Stewardship? bit.ly/3UP1zkw @ASMicrobiology

@_Mark_Murphy’s paper in predicting oral beta-lactam susceptibilities being discussed at a #PAS2022 #HotTopicSymposia on Pneumonia! Lots of discordance between penicillin and cefdinir susceptibilities for S. pneumo. Say No to cefdinir for pneumonia.
