🔬 Gram stain from a positive blood culture showing Nocardia Typical Gram-positive, branching, beaded filamentous rods are seen — a classic microscopic clue for Nocardia spp. 🩺 Patient: SLE with fever and weight loss 🧬 Final ID: Nocardia carnea by VITEK MS 💡 Teaching Pearl: In immunocompromised patients, early recognition of branching Gram-positive rods should immediately raise suspicion for Nocardia. Prompt communication with clinicians allows early targeted therapy and appropriate culture handling (prolonged incubation, alerting lab staff, biosafety awareness). 🔍 Differential Reminder: ✔️ Nocardia → Aerobic, weakly acid-fast, beaded branching filaments ✔️ Actinomyces → Anaerobic, non–acid-fast, dense branching filaments, often associated with sulfur granules A simple modified acid-fast stain can help distinguish them rapidly. 📌 Microscopy still matters. #GramStain #Nocardia #TeachingPearl #ClinicalMicrobiology #BloodCulture MALDITOF InfectiousDiseases MedMicro MicrobiologyEducation Immunocompromised LabMedicine

MedMicro (MM) consultant kindly reminded me not to compare myself, a struggling Peds ID fellow, with smart MM residents who could identify an organism based on colony morphology alone; MM resident would probably also feel the same way if rotating in Peds ID. We're all learners.

#IDboardreview A patient with PAH on epoprostenol via a central line develops a catheter-related bloodstream infection. What bacteria , has been linked to such infections? 🤔 #IDTwitter #MedMicro #MedEd

My @PurdueBiolSci BIOL 533 #MedMicro class did an outstanding job on their posters today! Students were assigned articles extending from class content. They also designed a "next experiment" based on their article & evaluated if #AI helped refine the expt. @LifeAtPurdue

Our next speaker after our lunch break was Dr. Chris Doern from VCU Pathology. Dr. Doern presented valuable data on navigating blood culture utilization amidst the ongoing bottle shortage. #medmicro Cc:@Illinois_micro

Next up: @Ahmed_HBabiker is speaking on the interplay between the worlds of clinical micro and infectious diseases. #IDTwitter #medmicro Cc:@RushCCH_ID

Submitted my ERAS application for #PathMatch2025. ✅ My name is Nathan McGrath, an AP resident in South Africa 🇿🇦, originally from Malawi 🇲🇼, applying for AP/CP. I’m an advocate for the foundational role of pathology in #GlobalHealth. #GynPath #CytoPath #MedMicro #PediPath

September 1 is "Back to Hogwarts Day." In honor of this, I share one of my favorite micro/HP-related comics about....syphilis. #MedMicro

Earlier this month the FDA authorized the first at home test for syphilis is a step towards more accessible testing. Time will tell if it curbs the rising cases. #ASMClinMicro #MedMicro #IDTwitter fda.gov/news-events/press-an…

I'm thrilled to join the editorial team at @ASMCaseReports! If you're in #MedMicro or #InfectiousDiseases and you have a great case, consider submitting here! 😀

Mean salary of MedMicro/ID in Quebec is ~530k I think Canadian $ Minus ~40-50% taxes We’re not soooo far I think 🤔 But then comes the discussion about cost of living, services with our taxes and USA president

The image could be a classic Nocardia presentation, think branching but beaded like a string of pearls, slightly acid-fast.#MedMicro #USMLE #Step1Journey #NocardiaNuggets

i miss wearing maroon scrubs, i miss medmicro intern days 😫

Goood evening @jcomls I'm a 4th year Medlab student, specialising in ChemPath. Been your follower for a while now and I have been learning from your post, I can conclude you are Medmicro specialist. Pls can you advise me on any topic or new research in Chempath for my seminar

Embraced #AI in my #BIOL533 #MedMicro class. Students used @OpenAI Chat-GPT as aid to understand primary literature & designed follow-up experiment based on class lectures. They then defended their experiment in a public poster session. Great exercise & turnout! @PurdueBiolSci

I learned this in MedMicro! It’s a pretty unique transmission where it originates from an infected rodent/animal (infected by flea bite) which can spread to human, and that infected human can infect other humans! Caused by bacteria Yersinia pestis.
