📝 Like Wordle but wish it involved plagues? It's not quite the same -- there's no spelling just a series of clues in a similar feedback loop as Wordle -- but it's pretty cool! Complements of an anonymous med student on Reddit. #IDSky #MedSky www.plagdle.com

‘Standing on the shoulders of imperfect humans’ continues w/ a review by @anniejoseph.bsky.social of the Kass criteria for significant bacteriuria named after EH Kass. Still widely used in the clinic but where did 10^5 CFU/mL come from & is it still relevant? www.cmi-comms.org/article/S295... #IDSky

“Without minimising the great advance made by Kass in the diagnosis of UTI, it is none the less important to recognise its limitations.” Rosalind Maskell, 1989 [1].

Our new study published. We were surprised to see that carriers have a high baseline risk that antibiotics don't add on it. Among non carriers BLBLI posed the highest risk. Overall the conclusion as always is- be judicious: use the shortest regimen and try to avoid unnecessary treatment

Is anyone here using 405 nm LED lights for environmental disinfection in their hospital? Does it make a difference?
