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.

In this episode of the SOS AMS podcast, our hosts discuss the diagnosis, microbiology, and management of cellulitis. They describe clinical features that could be suggestive of a necrotizing soft tissue infection, to highlight when we would want to obtain a stat surgical consultation. They end the podcast by applying principles discussed to a patient case, like always, going from differential diagnosis to management. Check out the clinical decision-making matrix for a summary of our top 3 differential diagnoses, as well as the relevant references in the provided hyperlinks.
The learning objectives for this podcast are as follows:
Describe the clinical presentation of cellulitis.
Identify the usual pathogens implicated in cellulitis.
Describe “red flag” features concerning for necrotizing soft tissue infection.
Rationalize empiric therapy selection for mild, moderate, and severe cellulitis.
Apply knowledge of SSTIs to manage a patient presenting with new cutaneous findings.
