- KASIC Putting or another brilliant post on De-escalation of ABx with some brilliant references about how de-escalation is associated with BETTER OUTCOMES for patients! Let’s talk about this table though, as it’s been on my mind. 🪡
- These Are Your First Steps. Check out this week’s KASIC pearl to learn about Defining De-Escalation kymdro.org/kasic/?p=8501 #IDSky #AntimicrobialResistance #antimicrobialstewardship #rxsky #pharmacy #FOAMed #NPs #PAs
- If you look at the spectrum for these drugs, you’ll see it’s all over the place. AGs are arguably wider spectrum than Aztreonam; So too Cotrim & Ceftriaxone Doxy, HUGE spectrum, is in the middle And in terms of C.diff risk, the highest risk agent (Clinda) is in the ‘narrow’ column.
- The issue I think is that spectrum isn’t the only determinant for de-escalation, which isn’t explicitly stated in this table; it’s stewardly use of ABx.

View full thread@kasic.bsky.social posts are a great place to start; I pointed ppl towards them when I was working in England and got great feedback; their influence spreads far beyond Kentucky! (They K stands for Kentucky they’re from Kentucky)
- Mero: AZTREONAM, what are you doing up here in Broad Spectrum? Aztreo: I treat Pseudomonas! Piptaz: yeah, *tobramycin* treats Pseudomonas Tobra: hey… Aztreo: I’m important for DTR Gram Negatives! Mero: yeah when your little friend Avibactam is with you Ceftazidime: that guy’s not so bad TBF
- Ceftriaxone: I’m a big broad spectrum boy. I cover Staph aureus, Strep, & Enterobacterales! Cotrimoxazole: MRSA? Cef: No Cotrim: ESBL? Cef: No Cotrim: CPE? Cef: No Cotrim: PCP? Cef: No. That’s not even a bacteria, no drug could cover all that Cotrim: okay. What do I know. I’m only MEDIUM SPECTRUM
