Common question I get as an ID doc relates to duration of abx therapy

How do I decide?

Back in 2010, @PaulSaxMD revealed the secret "5/7 rule" in his @JWatch blog, causing panic in the ID community - Will we still get consults since our secret sauce was revealed?? ImageImage
Ok so maybe we have come a long way since then with selecting durations (and consult volume has been fine, phew)

But why do we ❤ a 7 day week to define courses of abx therapy?🤔

Do seven 24 hr intervals of abx exposure have some biologic bacteria busting properties? Image
