For streptococci, blood cultures virtually always cleared by day 2, so clearing quickly is not helpful. In contrast, for MSSA, MRSA, and E faecalis, clearance of blood cultures after 1 day of therapy was also very helpful at negatively adjusting the risk of IE. #IDSky

🆕🔥Case-control study @bradspellberg.bsky.social
Just 1/4 blood cultures positive (≥2 sets drawn) or early clearance → low IE probability. Persistent bacteremia or 4/4 bottles ↑ pretest probability
Simple bedside clues to sharpen your endocarditis game. #IDSky #EMIMCC
