Big SNAP trial news at #ESCMIDGlobal - PSSA arm stopped early due to increased AKI with fluclox and lower mortality in penicillin arm (13.8% vs 21.5%) N=281 but results are hard to ignore

Optimizing Antibiotic Therapy in Musculoskeletal Infections. 🔺Antibiotic "bone penetration" is dated terminology. 🔺Don't rush to start antibiotics. 🔺No need for Pseudomonas empiric treatment. 🔺PO = IV (ASAP) 🔺Shorter is better! #IDXposts #OrthoID doi.org/10.1016/j.idc.…
