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)

I am moving to the U of Kansas!
In honor of the move, heres Mycobacteria kansasii. It is a photochromogen, which means its pigmented under light. You can remember them as "Must Keep A Sun Shining" = M. marium, M. kansasii, M. asiaticum, M. simiae, and M. szulgai (25c).

Published a Vitek vs Bruker MALDI-TOF MS smackdown with @DrMeganAmerson! Which did better when identifying molds? We found that Vitek gave more IDs but Bruker was more accurate. PMID: 37317856
Have you tried running molds on MALDI? How did it work for you?
