I have eliminated more UTIs from this planet with vaginal estradiol than with antibiotics.

Calling Team Cefadroxil here ...
Just finishing up a week long course of antibiotics: Bactrim q12 hrs & Keflex q6 hrs I think of myself as pretty reliable & organized but based on the “left overs” I clearly missed 4/28 doses of the q6 med. q6 hour dosing is hard!

Way to go! Congratulations @azeredo_joana @AzeredoLab
📢 Historic day for Portugal and phage therapy! 🇵🇹 A framework was approved, allowing magistral preparation of personalized phage products. 🙌 Grateful to Jean-Paul Pirnay, my group @AzeredoLab Portuguese patients, and doctors who signed a petition inspired by the Belgium model.

🦠🌍 This #AntimicrobialAwarenessWeek, let's remember that while antimicrobials are crucial, many drugs deemed Essential Medicines by the @WHO are NOT accessible in 🇨🇦 outside the Special Access Program. RT if you think these drugs should be more easily accessible to Canadians

🆕 in @ICHEJournal - we devised a simple scoring tool to help reduce unnecessary urine culturing and antibiotic prescribing for asymptomatic bacteriuria. The BLADDER score can be used as part of broader UTI stewardship efforts. https://t.co/efWhFlh1yp

Looking forward to a future @PhageRounds from Chinese Colleagues (open invitation) 150 #phagetherapy cases! Was great to connect with leaders at the @VoM_2024 in Australia. #ammicanphage @AMMICanada let’s do more than 3 Canada
I attended the 7th Chinese Phage Therapy Forum. In China, phages have been used in clinical studies involving over 150 cases. In China, many companies are researching phages for practical use In these photos, you can see the phages as medicines which are readily available.

#GOGOGO4PHAGE #ammicanphage @FerryLyon & @CrioacLyon @CHUdeLyon the French are personalized medicine gold medal winners for dead end joint infections. #phagetherapy Come check out this work in November 13/14 for an @esgnta workshop I am presenting at. @AMMICanada @PhageRounds
What a nice X-ray guided #bacteriophage injection @CrioacLyon @CHUdeLyon directly in contact to an infected hip prosthesis! #Phagetherapy is here now an option for patients with complex prosthetic joint infection #PJI for whom explantation is too at risk for complication!

#ammicanphage #phagetherapy @LocusBio lead author Paul Kim (and Canadian) with early results of #UTI clinical trial. @CARB_X supported phages going from promise to proof! Love the sub group showing 80 percent effect on resistant organisms. @AMMICanada @uoftmedicine @PhageRounds
Great news @LocusBio who published prelim data from their Phase 2 #clinicaltrial of #CRISPR-enhanced #phage to treat chronic #UTIs in adult women @TheLancetInfDis. Phase 3 ELIMINATE #trial starts soon & involves @IPATH. Can't wait! #phagetherapy #AMR
