Thrilled to share our new publication on #penicillinallergy #delabeling practices and barries across SHEA SRN institutions. We found wide variability in practices, with barriers eg limited EHR integration, and lack of outcome tracking. doi.org/10.1017/ice.20…


Excited to share our Letter to the Editor urging caution on adopting plasma #mNGS for #NHSN #CLABSI surveillance, highlighting why it may not be ready for prime time. Grateful to my co-authors for their insights. cambridge.org/core/journals/…


Happy to have contributed to the Clinical Dilemmas in Infectious Diseases series in CID. Grateful for the opportunity to share this challenging case and the lessons it offers for clinical practice. academic.oup.com/cid/advance-ar…
