What is the best Rx for toxo encephalitis? This comprehensive review of treatment studies in @CIDJournal suggests that TMP/SMX is as effective and safer than pyr-sulfa or pyr-clinda. Certainly is easier to give and much less $$$. Change in guidelines soon? https://t.co/b85CKlv0WF pic.twitter.com/K3JKVCj8KC

What is UNIQUE about the resistance of pseudomonas to ß-lactam antibiotics?
— Ed (@Rx_Ed) August 13, 2022
Pseudomonas PUMPS OUT the drug through efflux proteins. The majority of ß-lactam resisting organisms produce an enzyme that breaks the antibiotic (i.e. they produce ß-lactamases)
Zika, malaria, Lyme disease and even COVID-19 are just a few infectious diseases that were aggravated by climate hazards, from warming and drought to precipitation and flooding, the study found. https://t.co/QtfBy6rbPU
