ID:IOTS - Infectious Disease Insight Of Two Specialists

The POET trial was the biggest endocarditis trial in some time, and since 2019 has changed how we manage these patients. But how to implement oral regimens for Endocarditis? 

Jame speaks to Nik Rae, Consultant Physician, on how they implemented the use of oral antibiotics for endocarditis patients in Ninewells Hospital, and how you can too! (in your own hospital, not Ninewells, the're already doing it).

How do you decide which antimicrobial to use? This is a follow on from episode 69, 'Choosing an antimicrobial'. We did an overview of spectrum and syndromes... But now let's dive into the details!
We consider the details of how to choose an antibiotic in simple, complicated and complex situations. 
We also talk about the Cynefin Framework for decision making in various circumstances; Don't worry if you don't know what that is; neither did Jame before this episode was recorded!

Paediatric AMS? Surely there aren't any issues with antimicrobial use in paediatrics?!
Jame hears from Dr Charlotte Fuller and Dr Sanjay Patel that yes, yes there is a problem! And YOU can do something about it.
Listen in to hear the answers to these questions:
What do we know about AMR and antimicrobial use in children? 
What are the barriers to responsible antimicrobial use in children?
How can DGH AMS teams and paediatrics support each other?  
Are there any other paediatric-specific considerations for infection prevention, diagnosis and management?
Where can microbiologists learn more about paediatric infection? HINT it is here: https://uk-pas.co.uk/ and here https://bsac.org.uk/paediatricpathways/

There's nothing new under the sun... except for these new antifungals which we will now educate you on! 
One's an inhaled azole (OK not that new)
One's sort of an echinocandin (shut up)
Two are unpronounceable (but related to fungicides which we're using already)
And Alyssa and Jame are joined by Dr Neil Stone, ID:IOTS Podcast Novel Antifungal Agent Correspondent, to guide you through it all!
