Here is a case study of a patient with injection drug use, a patent foramen ovale, and recurrent MRSA bacteremia who developed rare, fatal quadruple-valve infective endocarditis involving all 4 heart valves, highlighting the high mortality risk and importance of early recognition, surgical consultation, and substance use treatment.

How stewardship teams communicate determines whether interventions feel like policing or collaboration. Using structured, data-driven frameworks— advocacy-inquiry-listen-teach and DART—creates psychological safety to explore understanding and supports shared decision-making.

Non–carbapenemase-producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) isolates are the most common mechanism of CRE in the United States,
but the optimal antimicrobial treatment remains to be elucidated.

Invasive fungal diseases remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing transplant, with shifting epidemiology, emerging resistance, and geographic variation underscoring the urgent need for improved surveillance, prevention strategies, and antifungal stewardship.

The twice-yearly injectable, which significantly reduces HIV incidence compared with oral regimens, has high adherence and manageable adverse effects.

The COVID-19 pandemic intensified long-standing problems
in scientific production and communication—driven by perverse academic incentives, peer review strain, media hype, and growing misuse of AI—highlighting the urgent need for stronger critical appraisal skills across research and medicine.

The subcommittee approved the removal of doxycycline and tetracycline breakpoints, revised aminoglycoside breakpoints for Acinetobacter spp, and added aztreonam-avibactam breakpoints for Enterobacterales.

Findings from a recent study challenge the need for high-dose trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole in managing Stenotrophomonas maltophilia pneumonia, finding lower doses may offer comparable efficacy.

A recent study examined how rurality and the availability of postdischarge follow-up influence clinicians’ decisions on antibiotic duration at discharge for patients hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia.

A series of politically driven actions in 2025—including defunding mRNA research, dismantling vaccine advisory bodies, and restricting CDC recommendations—has undermined US vaccine access and pandemic preparedness, but professional societies and some states are stepping in to preserve evidence-based public health.
