"Further subgroup analyses from SNAP will clarify whether the CzIE differentially impacts outcomes with cefazolin versus ASPs. In the meantime, cefazolin should be broadly considered the preferred treatment for most MSSA bacteremia"

Among patients with a hospital-acquired or health-care-associated Gram-negative bloodstream infection, cefiderocol resulted in non-inferior but not superior 14-day mortality compared with standard of care #IDXposts share.google/wnXjZuhBYFBOA3Zโฆ

Hi @iPhoOzZ, I just sent you a detailed email response. Thank you for asking this very important question, which affords me the opportunity to offer one of my trademark antibiotic rants. Oooh, feels good, haven't done one of these in a while! Ok...strap in, here we go...
Replying to @BradSpellberg
@BradSpellberg Hello,ย I have a question for uncomplicated MSSA septicemia.For a treatment duration of โฅ14 days, which day should be counted as Day 1 of therapy > the day of the 1st day of negative hemoculture, or the first day of intravenous anti-MSSA antibiotic administration?

N:1341
Cefazolin Vs ASPs ((flu)cloxacillin) for MSSA bacteremia
Cefazolin is non-inferior (90d mortality)& less AKI than ASPs
A practice-changer RCT that must change the guidelines
#ESCMIDGlobal
Replying to @bryan_p_white
17% vs 15% mortality, non inferior, at 90 days. Kaplan Meir and differences in mortality at other time points are below. Big difference in AKI 19.1 vs 13.7 %. Flucox vs cefazolin.

Why shorter is better
"It's the same efficacy, but safer and with less selection for resistance."
"If you're going to give antibiotics to people who don't need them, at least do us the courtesy of doing it for a brief period of time."

A brief tweetorial. The belief that IV is more effective than oral Abx is incorrect. No data to support it. Contrary data to refute it. And it makes no logical sense. The bugs can't know how the abx got there. They only know if enough gets there to inhibit their growth...
