Interesting cohort study from @WashUID led by @LauraMarks5: IV–>PO antibiotics for PWID with Staph bacteremia associated with comparable outcomes to "standard of care" all IV, esp after 10 days of IV. Don't d/c all abx at time of discharge! @CIDJournal https://t.co/0rOfYSTnkH pic.twitter.com/yqCjifWAEK
