Multidrug-resistant/extensively drug-resistant (MDR/XDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) are critical antimicrobial resistance threats. Despite their increasing prevalence, treatment options for metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-producing PA are limited, especially for New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM) producers. Pending further clinical studies, this case provides support for limited-scope use of cefepime-zidebactam for treating disseminated infections secondary to NDM-producing XDR PA. Susceptibilities should be tested and/or alternative regimens considered when treating isolates with alternative MBLs or increased efflux pump expression because some data suggest associated loss of cefepime-zidebactam susceptibility.

Background And Objectives: Social media platforms such as X (formerly Twitter) are increasingly used in medical education. Characteristics of tweetorials (threaded teaching posts) associated with higher degrees of engagement are unknown. We sought to understand features of neurology-themed tweetorials associated with high sharing and engagement.

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into health communication systems has introduced a transformative approach to public health management, particularly during public health emergencies, capable of reaching billions through familiar digital channels. This paper explores the utility and implications of generalist conversational artificial intelligence (CAI) advanced AI systems trained on extensive datasets to handle a wide range of conversational tasks across various domains with human-like responsiveness. The specific focus is on the application of generalist CAI within messaging services, emphasizing its potential to enhance public health communication.
