call it PCP - you might come across as a relic call it PJP - you may seem cleverish either way, don't call it PCP-pneumonia or PJP-pneumonia - you will come across as redundant redundant this @idiots-pod.bsky.social is a great review of the clinical aspects of pneumocystis infections. #idsky

EUCAST updates #ESCMIDglobal 1. Strep pneumonia updated algorithm: Use oxacillin disk, if >20mm then report A to all beta lactams. If <20mm read benpen 1 unit disk. Great presentation showing data behind and how well differentiates S/I/R

We talk about inducible AmpC and derepression of AmpC inducible, but what are the mechanisms? Well, it's complex, but depends on the species. AmpR and PBP4 key players. I might need to watch this talk again.... (and easily can because the conference platform is excellent)! #escmidglobal

Using (sterile) infusion lines to measure CSF opening pressure in Cryptococcal meningitis when no manometers... In UK required move to NRFit connectors means new manometers are plastic and not stackable (miss the glass). So maybe a useful alternative! #escmidglobal

IDSA journals launch Reviewer Recognition & Rewards program Reviewers of 3+ papers in 1 IDSA journal in a yr get waived page charges in CID/JID, or 20% discount on OA fees Top 3 reviewers (per J) get “Reviewer of the Year” distinction & IDWeek registration academic.oup.com/idsa/pages/i... #IDSky

Rewards for Frequent Reviewers
All reviewers who complete at least three reviews of appropriate quality and timeliness for one IDSA journal in a calendar year will be rewarded the following calendar year with their choice of either free page charges in CID or JID, or a 20% discount on open access fees in any IDSA journal. These rewards can be claimed with any IDSA journal, not just the journal where the reviews were performed.
In addition, we are including our top 100 most frequent reviewers from 2020-2023 for the launch of this rewards program as a small way to thank the ID community for all of the time and energy they poured into review for the IDSA journals during the height of the COVID pandemic.

Recognition for Top Reviewers
Each journal will recognize its best reviewers, selected based on number of reviews completed, timeliness and review quality, with recognition letters each quarter.
In addition, the top three reviewers from each journal will be recognized with a "Reviewer of the Year" award. Our Reviewers of the Year will receive paid registration to IDWeek and will be invited to attend the IDSA Editor's Reception at IDWeek, in addition to recognition in the MyIDSA Community, IDSA News, our journal social media channels, and elsewhere.
