The SToP Trial has come to a close and we’re incredibly proud of all that was achieved. Hear from Professor Asha Bowen and Janella Isaac as they summarise almost a decade of work in a single video youtube.com/watch?v=p1mDyd…

Haven't posted about SNAP for a while: But we've just hit 4000 participants. Almost at 3 years since opening. And submitting two late breaker oral abstracts to ESCMID Global. Amazing progress and more to come. SNAP Trial Joshua Davis Todd C. Lee

This will be the best session on ECCMID. I'm sure, because it will be very important results, carefully delivered and then dissected. I'm 💯 sure it will change my practice.

Excited to announce that we randomised our first patient into the #ROADMAPtrial today! First of thousands, answering important questions in prosthetic joint infection. See roadmaptrial.com for more deets. #IDXposts #PJI

Great work again from Ouli Xie! This time on epidemiology and lineage dynamics of invasive Streptococcus pyogenes in Australia - comparison between hyperendemic and usual urban regions. Published in The Lancet Microbe

Annual N95 fit-testing is still required based on 1 small study of 229 participants. In a study of 12,065 HCWs followed over 3 yrs, fit‑test failure was <0.5% (Martin et al). Annual fit‑testing still costs US healthcare ~$200–400 M/yr. Time to switch to every 3 years.
