Cefepime Vs. Piperacillin tazobactam: Both cover pseudomonas aeruginosa Neither covers MRSA Only Pip tazo covers Enterococcus & anaerobes Only Cefepime can be used in CNS infections Cefepime is more neurotoxic Pip tazo + Vanco 🔼AKI risk* Cefepime better AmpC coverage* Others?

IDSA finally updated the classification of of uncomplicated UTI Uncomplicated UTI : Infection confined to the bladder in afebrile women or men So I can finally recommend fosfomycin and nitrofurantoin in men with UTI Also cUTI can be treated for 7d only UTI+ DM isn't complicated

🌟Fantastic figure🌟 you can show when someone asks why we need to combine Ceftazidime-avibactam & Aztreonam for treatment of MBL🦠 infections? ⚡️Aztreonam isn't hydrolyzed by MBL enzymes ⚡️Avibactam takes care of ESBL/AmpC co-produced by MBL🦠 Ceftazidime ⁉️ H t @drtimothyli
