So many diagnostic methods for pneumonia! Can one test rule them all? @Nanderson0715 discusses utility of multiplex PCR for pneumonia at #2022AACC. High NPV of PCR has potential for earlier antibiotic de-escalation!

Can NGS be used for respiratory specimens? Yes! But @SimnerLab stresses that conditional reporting is needed for NGS-based pathogen identification, particularly in samples with “normal flora”. See more at journals.asm.org/doi/full/10… #AACC2022 @DavidCGaston

What’s the value of NGS in clinical micro? @DavidCGaston says it’s a valuable tool. But it can’t replace a good differential and culture! #AACC2022 @SimnerLab

Great content on NIH funding mechanisms!!! Med students and MSTP students consider F30; Residents consider R38; Early Fellows consider DP5 or K12/KL2, and within 4 yrs K99/R00 (NIAID requires 50% effort!!); K08 recipients consider R03 for pilot studies in final 2 years of award.
Find out which NIH funding mechanisms apply to you throughout your career. youtube.com/watch?v=mNJGxphn…

In a study comparing blood culture systems, Kingella kingae was detected in only 42% (5/12) for the Virtuo.
This is an issue for septic arthritis, as joint fluid is often incubated into blood cultures. @MicroMeIanie @BurnhamBugDoc #ASMClinMicro #IDTwitter
