Sometimes antibiotics are present in clinical samples, inhibiting bacteria growth. Here a patient was treated with piperacillin-tazobactam for pyelonephritis: Proteus mirabilis only grows when the concentration of antibiotics sufficiently decreases. #IDTwitter #ASMClinMicro

Magical listening to live music again 💙 V impressed by these #NHS doctors for putting on a wonderful concert, particularly after such a difficult 18 months. Herculean effort from 6 voices, performing the entirety of Mozart’s Requiem - incredible! #londondoctorsorchestraandchoir

You’ve probably seen this in the news but today is set to be a record breaking day. I’m planning to set a world record for most loads of washing dried outside in Britain. Record is currently two, I’m going for FOUR. Wish me luck and a slight breeze.
