Most common cause is staph aureus or pseudomonas?
UW tests this as S. aureus still being most common overall despite the increased proclivity for pseudomonas aetiology in diabetics.Most common cause is staph aureus or pseudomonas?
Thank youUW tests this as S. aureus still being most common overall despite the increased proclivity for pseudomonas aetiology in diabetics.
However, I recall specifically on one of the online NBMEs for Step 2 (yeah, Step 2, not Step 1), Pseudomonas was the answer over S. aureus. And another guy and I who had both scored 260s on that NBME acknowledged UW had S. aureus, even though the NBME answer was Pseudomonas.
If UW has been updated, that's good. Because the NBME is the real deal, and I'd go with that answer. (Hence why it's important to do the NBMEs!).
