Very excited that a Sepsis Seminar is part of the MM2025 pre-conference sessions #Sepsis2025 #WorldSepsisDay
Advanced Pharmacy Australia (AdPha)@adphaau.bsky.social · 12mo agoWorld Sepsis Day is a global call to action on one of the most urgent medical emergencies buff.ly/u0Tuy0d In support, we’re spotlighting 'Optimising sepsis outcomes: A pharmacist’s role from diagnosis to recovery.' 13:30–17:00 AEDT, Thu 27 Nov buff.ly/GIIJHnb
I enjoy being an #InfectiousDiseases pharmacist because I am part of a multidisciplinary team and all the collaborative opportunities that are available. Happy #IDPharmacistsDay
@asidaud.bsky.social · last yr.Today, on Infectious Diseases Pharmacists Day (May 22 in the US), we take a moment in Australia to recognise the remarkable contributions of our own ID pharmacists. Your expertise is vital to the safe and effective management of infectious diseases across our healthcare system. #InfectiousDiseases
To celebrate #IDPharmacistsDay look out for the videos from AdPha.au pharmacists showcasing their contributions to Innovations in Infectious Diseases @adphaau.bsky.social @nadinehillock.bsky.social @sonkoning.bsky.social @leggwamy.bsky.social @sidpharm.bsky.social
Very excited to be hearing about the ID innovations as ID pharmacists share their stories to celebrate #IDPharmacistsDay. We will be starting early from the ‘land down under’.

Surveillance of Gm negative resistance rates in Australia includes all organisms on the WHO list of priority pathogens, & good representation from across Australian states/territories - Jan Bell presenting at #Antimicrobials2025 #ASA2025 #GmNeg
Multiple challenges associated with AMR testing of Gm-negative bacteria - may result in over-reporting of resistance rates (e.g cefiderocol) potentially denying patients optimal treatment options, or under-reporting with life-threatening consequences - Prof Christian Giske #Antimicrobials2025 #AMR
@iainabbott.bsky.social #antimicrobials2025 Excellent summary slides of current and future oral antimicrobials for #UTIs and what’s lefts in the case of #MDR UTIs #IDSky #AMSsky

Highlighting undocumented off-label topical use of rifampicin during surgery in Australian hospitals, and opportunities for AMS #Antimicrobials2025 #ASA2025 #rifampicin #surgery #AntimicrobialStewardship @edraby.bsky.social #MattRawlins
Giske: beware using Cefiderocol discs in MBL strains - many isolates are S by MIC but in ATU (uncertain) on disc, resulting in over-calling of resistance. #antimicrobials2025
Dr Kylie McIntosh Safer Care Victoria providing updates on the Victorian pilot of pharmacist led UTI management, implications on #AMS and the critical need to #upskill #communitypharmacists #antimicrobials2025 #pharmacysymposium #IDsky #AMSsky #UTI
Urinary concentrations of antibiotics much more variable bt patients (compared to variability in blood conc). Many variables to consider including fluid intake, variability across a day, other urodynamic factors - Iain Abbott discussing complexity of treating MDR UTIs #Antimicrobials2025 #AMR #UTI
Kicking off the #pharmacysymposium We have @michyong.bsky.social highlighting the use of marabivir in tricky #ID populations #CMV and real world use beyond the clinical trials. (With promising clinical effectiveness) #antiviralstewardship #antimicrobials2025
@cindyclau.bsky.social #linezolid does one dose fit all???? Most likely not! Dr Cindy Lau goes through some scenarios - elderly, renal and hepatic impairment, #DDIs - where dose reductions may be warranted to improve patient care (& reduce toxicities) #antimicrobials2025 #IDsky #amssky

Combining NAUSP & NAPS datasets shows that in general restricted antibiotics have lower usage rates and higher appropriateness, but appropriateness of unrestricted antimicrobials should still be targets for AMS - Caroline Chen #Antimicrobials2025 @cazchen.bsky.social #surveillance #AMS
#ASA VP @iainabbott.bsky.social highlighting how to use OrgTRx data for 1 #antibiograms 2 susceptibility trends 3 extraction for patient level data #slicendice to meet your needs #antimicrobials2025 #ASA2025
