This Portrait Could Diagnose an Infection (artist: Caitlin Shirts)

Bacteria such as E. coli get energy by releasing chemicals called enzymes that break down sugars. Health care workers can exploit this ability to figure out which bacteria are causing an infection....

For #indieaprilsweeps I'm highlighting book 1 of the #emissaryquintet by @EBBrooksFiction! A day late for earth day, but I love how this book really emphasizes the value of protecting the world you're given!

Our work, led by @brintzbe, on clinical predictors of #diarrhea etiology is now out in @PLOSNTDs. Lower age, vomiting, better nutrition, non-bloody stool, and cold/dry season, predict viral. A step towards antimicrobial stewardship for diarrhea? @UofU3i doi.org/10.1371/journal.pntd…
