The SOS AMS (Save Our Supply Antimicrobial Stewardship) podcast brings you brief evidence reviews on major infections that contribute significantly to antimicrobial use in clinical practice, all in under 30 minutes. We explore key topics like distinguishing infection from non-infectious mimickers, a microbiology and antibiotics primer, AECOPD, CAP, HAP, Cellulitis, UTIs, Intraabdominal infections, Sepsis NYD, and Bacteremia. Working through learning objectives, we review the pathophysiology of these conditions, best evidence in management, and apply principles learned to patient cases. Written by an ID AMS pharmacist, reviewed by ID AMS physicians, and co-hosted with an ER nurse, these podcasts bring a Canadian AMS perspective to commonly encountered infections.

The first episode of the SOS AMS podcast focuses on general clinical topics in AMS, such as discerning when a patient has improved clinically and is appropriate for stepdown to an oral antibiotic, and developing a differential diagnosis for perceived non-response to antibiotics. Our hosts Julia and Nicki explore key clinical features and patterns for distinguishing antibiotic failure from a source control issue or from a non-infectious mimicker of infection in patients who are not responding to antibiotics. The principles discussed are applied to two patient cases at the end of the podcast. Relevant references can always accessed through the provided hyperlink.
The learning objectives for this podcast are:
Identify which clinical features generally point to safe oral stepdown for patients with infections
Compare the clinical features that point to antibiotic failure vs. source control issue vs non-infectious mimicker in a patient with apparent antibiotic non-response
Apply knowledge of these principles to 2 patient cases.
