🆕💫(STOP-Vanc) RCT protocol
@VUMC_ID @JeffFreiberg
Swab Testing to Optimize Pneumonia treatment with empiric Vancomycin
The study will provide the 1st RCT data regarding the use of MRSA nasal swab PCR testing to guide antibiotic de-escalation #idxposts

The study protocol for STOP-Vanc, our RCT looking at the use of MRSA nares PCR testing in an ICU, is finally published!
We are hoping to be done with enrollment soon and excited to see what we learn from this study! @VUMCLHS

I am excited to announce that my work on antibiotic treatment failure in Staph is now funded through a K08 from @NIAIDNews!
A big thank you to @VUMC_ID @VUMC_MedPSTP @EFSInsideScoop and especially my mentor @EricSkaar to help get me to this point!

We have an open #TID fellowship position @VUMC_IDFellows. @VUMCTransplant is a high-volume transplant center ( lung, heart, kidney, pancreas, liver) with a diverse patient population and pathology. The program has expanded to 6 faculty members and APRN.

I appreciate the work that went into this study, but if your prediction, absent a new mechanism or major change, looks like this, I’m worried your conclusions follow from assumptions and not evidence
🆕 Antimicrobial resistance poses an important global health challenge in the 21st century.
A new in-depth global analysis suggests more than 39 million deaths from antibiotic-resistant infections could occur between now & 2050.

Broad spectrum antibiotics are the refuge of the poor diagnostician!
