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 โ‰ฅ14 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?

The most anticipated RCT in ID ๐Ÿ”ฅSNAP RCT๐Ÿ”ฅThe largest RCT 2 date in SA bactermia 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." @BradSpellberg cidrap.umn.edu/antimicrobialโ€ฆ

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...
Thank you for the reply- early career clinical scientist looking to learn.
