๐งต๐ฆ Who actually needs antibiotic prophylaxis for urologic procedures?
At #IDWeek2026, Dimitri M. Drekonja, MD, MS, challenged us to match prophylaxis to the procedure, likely organisms, and patient riskโwithout unnecessary antibiotics.
Key takeaways ๐
At #IDweek2026 a nice perspective on diagnosticsโฆ
When you are drinking coffee and you ask, how much is too much for me today? Especially when outside of your normal coffee routines (eg when traveling).
Ask the same with diagnostic tests! How much is too much?

๐ Does hypoalbuminemia mean you should increase an antibiotic dose?
At #IDWeek2026, Christina G. OโConnor, PharmD, BCPS, BCIDP, DPLA, explored this question using ceftriaxone and ertapenem. ๐
The answer is more nuanced than a serum albumin value. ๐งต
