🆕publication from our group❗️ Excellent work from Dr. Abouelhassan during her post-doc fellowship with us at Hartford! This important work supported by the FDA and led by my colleague Dr. Abdelraouf.
🆕️⚡️⚡️#JAC from Dr.Nicolau Hartford group
Ampicillin-sulbactam against Acinetobacter baumannii infections: pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic appraisal of current susceptibility breakpoints and dosing recommendations #IDXposts academic.oup.com/jac/article…
While developed to target KPCs - many of our clinically used BL/BLIs have further utility! Many thanks to the reviewers whose comments and suggestions really helped strengthen this review. 🙌🏼

🫡So glad to see such work being done to ensure quality and reproducible studies are being conducted.

Are we overcalling resistance of beta-lactams in MBL producing isolates because of supra-physiologic zinc levels in the testing media? Really thought provoking findings from my lab colleagues Drs. Abdelraouf and Nicolau!
In vitro-in vivo discordance in β-lactams activities against MBL producing Enterobacterales has been described

How many of your patients are started on empiric antibiotics before a respiratory culture is collected ⁉️🤔
How reliable are (-) resp cultures and can rapid molecular diagnostics play a role in these patients?

Oops that link is the wrong paper, but I guess consider giving that one a read too 😅
Correct 🔗:

Many of the newer BL/BLIs were created specifically to target and address KPC - we summarized their utility against Enterobacterales and Pseuds beyond KPCs in this review! Stay tuned for more organisms in Part 2 🦠🧫

Not all SOB after suspected aspiration event requires antibiotics‼️
⭐If onset is rapid (within minutes to hours) and CXR is clear
➡️consider withholding antibiotics and observe (more likely aspiration pneumonITIS rather than pneumonIA)
