1/n
comparing @ESCMID MDR GNR guidelines vs. @IDSAInfo guidance

let's tackle CRE next
note:
-@IDSAInfo is a "guidance" document not a guideline & focused on US practice
-recs paraphrased as needed

@jesusrbano @ClancyNeil @OncIDPharmd @ABsteward 2/n @ESCMID: For patients with severe infections due to CRE, we suggest mero-vabor or ceftaz-avi
@IDSAInfo: Ceftaz-avi, mero-vabor, and imi-rel are preferred options for infections outside of the urinary tract caused by CRE when carbapenemase results are not available or neg.

1/n @ESCMID guidelines are wonderful resource for clinicians treating MDR GNR infections. Great work @jesusrbano @EveTacconelli and many others!
let's compare to @IDSAInfo guidance (paraphrased recs prn). starting w/ 3GcephR-E
idsociety.org/practice-guide… &
idsociety.org/practice-guide… 2/n
First, @IDSAInfo AMR guidance is explicitly "guidance" not a guideline.
Second, @IDSAinfo focuses on treatment recommendations for antimicrobial resistant infections in the United States.
