💊Time to learn some #antibiotics! So many to learn in #clinicalmicrobiology, so little time!😅So I'm starting from the basics 🧱+ building on it🏡. Will share as I learn, so others can have an intro resource 🔖. Input/corrections welcome + appreciated! 🙏

Congrats, #Cameroon, on kicking off #malaria vaccination today.
🇨🇲 is one the most affected countries by malaria, with over 3 million cases & over 3800 deaths in 2021.
@WHO welcomes 🇨🇲’s commitment and stands ready to support all efforts to #EndMalaria.

Urease positive yeast found from a respiratory specimen 🫁! What do you suspect it could be, and what special agars would help you?

To remember which ones they grow on use greek prefixes and roman numerals.
And hemolyticus means its hemolytic
H. ducreyi (D like "deca") = needs X
H. parainfluenzae and H. parahemolyticus (P like "penta") = needs V
H. influenzae and H. hemolyticus = require both X and V

Twitter is now "X" but the real X is hemin on Haemophilus quad plates! Different Haemophilus species require X (hemin) and/or V (NAD) factors to grow. Each quad on the plate has different media, so you can ID the species based on the growth pattern (see memory helper below)

Because language matters. And we need to show that this is JUST as important as Staph aureus!
