Luis PlazaHOST
So I'll be quick, and this episode is about the last meeting that MAD ID held.
Luis PlazaHOST
And this meeting has normally been taking place in Orlando, and MAD ID stands for Making a Difference in Infectious Diseases.
Luis PlazaHOST
And this year's meeting was a little different because it was a joint meeting with SIDP, which is the Society of Infectious Diseases Pharmacists.
Luis PlazaHOST
So in this episode, I am joined by Erin McCreery and Mike Rybak, and they joined the podcast to talk about the meeting, talk about the sessions, including the ones that stood out the most.
Luis PlazaHOST
They talk about sessions that are appealing to, like, microbiologists, and they talk about the changes with the meeting, which next year will be taking place in Baltimore under a new name, which is Antimicrobials.
Mike RybakGUEST
Well, I can start.
Mike RybakGUEST
I'm Mike Rybak.
Mike RybakGUEST
I'm president of Making a Difference in Infectious Diseases.

Once the host is dead, the corpse is either mycost, meaning taken over by a mycelium in order to release asexual spores, or the fungus will grow a fruiting body from the dead insect to release spores that way.
speaker_0HOST
This is the general infection cycle for most fungal entomopathogen, entomopathogen meaning insect pathogen, specifically for those belonging to the order hypocrealis.
speaker_0HOST
Of course, this is quite a generalization and each species has their own properties, as well as being either obligate or facultative.
speaker_0HOST
An obligate pathogen cannot live without its host, and usually has a very narrow range of possible hosts.
speaker_0HOST
Now, even though behavior-controlling pathogens cannot afflict humans, fungi have been causing illness parasitically in humans as long as we've coexisted.
speaker_0HOST
Candida auris is a recently emerging example.
speaker_0HOST
Discovered twenty years ago, it is a direct result of climate change, like Cordyceps brain infection in The Last of Us.
speaker_0HOST
C. auris is related to the common pathogenic yeast, Candida albicans, which commonly causes yeast infections in humans.
speaker_0HOST
Once the host is dead, the corpse is either mycosed, meaning taken over by a mycelium in order to release asexual spores, or the fungus will grow a fruiting body from the dead insect to release spores that way.
speaker_0HOST
This is the general infection cycle for most fungal entomopathogen.
speaker_0HOST
Entomopathogen meaning insect pathogen.
speaker_0HOST
specifically for those belonging to the order Hypocrealis.
speaker_0HOST
Candida auris is a recently emerging example.
speaker_0HOST
Discovered 20 years ago, it is a direct result of climate change.
speaker_0HOST
like Cordyceps brain infection in The Last of Us.
speaker_0HOST
C. auris is related to the common pathogenic yeast Candida albicans, which commonly causes yeast infections in humans.
Kim SmithGUEST
So in my little bit of Spanish, I said to them, "Dolor aqui," which means pain here, and pointed to my left side.
Kim SmithGUEST
Stupidly, I didn't say, "Muy enfermo," which means very ill. Um, I didn't say infección.
Kim SmithGUEST
Because I didn't know the word for kidney or urine, I didn't say infection.
Kim SmithGUEST
So they apparently X-rayed my back, and I say apparently because I don't remember.
Mark ThomasGUEST
It's not just children who are being over-treated with antibiotics in New Zealand, it's the whole damn lot of us.
Shalise TansyHOST
Today, I'm speaking with Associate Professor of Infectious Diseases at the University of Auckland, Mark Thomas, for a crash course on how New Zealand is at higher risk of superbugs than many other countries and the other surprising risks of long-term antibiotic use.
Shalise TansyHOST
For the past decade, Mark's main research has been measuring and describing the way antibiotics are dispensed to the community in New Zealand.
Shalise TansyHOST
I've asked him to start off by explaining what antibiotics work for and what they don't.
speaker_1HOST
Yuma Adolf's team in Ituri is doing the burial work, digging graves, preparing bodies, handling coffins, nearly every day for just $20 a day.
speaker_1HOST
And they're facing family's anger while trying to stop the next infection.
speaker_0HOST
Safe burials help control transmission, but they still have to be dignified.
speaker_0HOST
Ebola can spread through direct contact with a person's body after death.
Malcolm Out LoudHOST
Leaders of some of the country's largest medical organizations are urging Americans to get their shots to avoid serious illness.
Malcolm Out LoudHOST
So it's the AMA, the AAF, well, the American Academy of Family Physicians as well, the American Academy of Pediatrics, all the fun-loving groups that we know, Dr. Angie Wright, American College of Obstetricians and Genealogists, OBGYN and Infectious Diseases.
Malcolm Out LoudHOST
There's a whole litany of them here.
Malcolm Out LoudHOST
Um, the, the recommendation here's, here's the part that I get here that I wanted to really, and it does get into pregnant women a little bit too, with the COVID shots as well.
Will FlanaryHOST
Una infección.
Will FlanaryHOST
Oh, I like that word.
Will FlanaryHOST
Infección.
Will FlanaryHOST
Mm-hmm.
Will FlanaryHOST
The double C. That's a...
Will FlanaryHOST
Right? Infección.
Will FlanaryHOST
Infección.
Will FlanaryHOST
So you would do the hard C, and then the second C is a
JennyHOST
Mm-hmm.
GusPANELIST
What do we have? Infection.
JennyHOST
Yeah.
GusPANELIST
Grail.
GusPANELIST
I like all of these
JenHOST
... plot relevant of the four.
GusPANELIST
I like Walk- I would go Walkabout, Late Delivery, Infection, Grail.
GusPANELIST
'Cause I actually like Infection.
Cameron WolfeMODERATOR
I've got a real pleasure in introducing Dr. Morris.

Cameron WolfeMODERATOR
And I've been someone I've really seen personally as a great mentor over many years.
Cameron WolfeMODERATOR
So Dr. Morris, we welcome the start of your presentation.
Michele I. MorrisGUEST
And unfortunately, 2024 was the world's warmest year since records began in 1850.
Michele I. MorrisGUEST
