Sometimes antibiotics are present in clinical samples, inhibiting bacteria growth. Here a patient was treated with piperacillin-tazobactam for pyelonephritis: Proteus mirabilis only grows when the concentration of antibiotics sufficiently decreases. #IDTwitter #ASMClinMicro
Yes, Saturday was a very good day indeed! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Magical listening to live music again 💙 V impressed by these #NHS doctors for putting on a wonderful concert, particularly after such a difficult 18 months. Herculean effort from 6 voices, performing the entirety of Mozart’s Requiem - incredible! #londondoctorsorchestraandchoir
Our first performance since October 2019! Elgar Serenade for Strings, Warlock Capriol Suite…and Mozart Requiem sung by a choir of 6. eventbrite.co.uk/e/mozart-el…

You’ve probably seen this in the news but today is set to be a record breaking day. I’m planning to set a world record for most loads of washing dried outside in Britain. Record is currently two, I’m going for FOUR. Wish me luck and a slight breeze.

From the abstract: "Non-penicillin-allergic patients receiving vancomycin for treatment of MSSA bacteremia had the highest mortality rates overall. Receipt of a beta-lactam was the strongest predictor of survival." @DASON_duke @rebsmoe xitter.cf/DASON_duke/status/9797…
