It’s been a minute since I’ve written a scientific piece and I have to say this was an awesome way to dust off the cobwebs! I had a ton of fun collaborating with the exceptionally skilled Dr. Prinzi @andreaprinzi in this article for @Contagion_Live !
From our Clinical Corner column, @lysswalk and @andreaprinzi discuss the challenges associated with #antibiotic de-escalation and the ongoing search for more meaningful metrics to evaluate the success of antimicrobial stewardship programs. #IDTwitter contagionlive.com/view/antib…

As the pandemic spread, we have been ignoring many of the ASP strategies that were developed & implemented in the past decade. ✨Clinical algorithm ✨for initiating antibiotics in patients admitted with #COVID19 to the ICU. @yourICM #IDTwitter @Lennie333 link.springer.com/article/10…
