Uncommon dry colonies of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from a bone infection. This strain is ESBL-producing & colistin-resistant (confirmed by microdilution). 🦠💊🦴 Triple-checked the identification 😅 #Klebsiella #ASMClinMicro
Had so much fun at this year's Battle of the Brains 🧠 at #ASMmicrobe Amazing team and of course thanks for all the CPEPers for rallying behind us! Congrats to the peds micro team for going all the way! 🏆

#MicroRounds (Day 998): 'nucleation'
2 of 2 blood culture *sets* (not bottles) growing a non-motile spindly GNR? May be Fusobacterium.
This F. nucleatum grew in bundles & clusters, possibly related to its reported aggregation/plaque formation ability. #ASMClinMicro #IDTwitter
#MicroRounds (Day 996): 'late arrival'
Leg wound bacterial culture was finaled & shelved on day 5. Our lab does quality checks to verify how techs report cultures. Lo & behold, our specialist noticed this late-growing Fusarium that would've been missed! #ASMClinMicro #IDTwitter
Happening now: Virtual webinar with the amazing Dr. Lars Westblade discussing medically important yeasts. #ASMClinMicro
#MicroRounds (Day 997): 'clap back'
From a genital culture on a urethral swab specimen, neutrophils and GNDC seen on direct Gram stain and confirmed by growth on MTM agar, and by only oxidizing (not fermenting!) glucose: it's Neisseria gonorrhoeae #ASMClinMicro #IDTwitter

Honored and tremendously excited at this opportunity to join JAC-AMR to disseminate more #AMRrounds cases that provide education regarding difficult to treat infections caused by multi-drug resistance organisms globally!
