7 Current Paradigm for Diagnosis of Blood Stream Infections We need data here! Blood drawn, sent to lab Cultured on automated system Flagged as positive Gram stain performed and called Sub-cultured to solid media Isolate ID and susceptibility Day 3-5 Approaches to Susceptibility Testing (to date) Phenotype What concentration of the drug inhibits growth of the bug? (e.g., MIC) Genotype Is there a gene that predicts the drug won t kill the bug? 14 7

8 Approaches to Susceptibility Testing (to date) Phenotype What concentration of the drug inhibits growth of the bug? (e.g., MIC) Genotype Is there a gene that predicts the drug won t kill the bug? Slow (but getting quicker!) Requires a large # of bacteria (but going down!) Mechanism does not matter Provides and MIC Quick! Requires few bacteria Mechanism matters you only find what you re looking for No MICs must assume R if gene detected. How to interpret no gene? 15 Problem with GNRs UCLA data, 2016 N=208 carbapenem-r Enterobacteriaceae 25% Not all are KPC! Plasmid AmpC Porin mutations + ESBL Other carbapenemases 3% 2% 70% KPC MBL OXA-48 None 8

9 Problem #2 with GNRs 1) Isolate harbors OXA-48 & other R genes/permeability defects 2) Isolate harbors OXA-48 & no other R genes / permeability defects Antimicrobial Antimicrobial Aminoglycosides R Aminoglycosides S R R R R R R Cephalosporins & Aztreonam Carbapenems Piperacillin-tazobactam Fluoroquinolones Tetracyclines Trimethoprimsulfamethoxazole Cephalosporins & Aztreonam Carbapenems Piperacillin-tazobactam Fluoroquinolones Tetracyclines Trimethoprimsulfamethoxazole S R S S S S Tigecycline R Tigecycline S Colistin R Colistin S 17 Final note on challenges Policies make development/improvement of new AST devices challenging 1) outdated reference method (but best we have!) 2) strict requirements for performance - more than possible by reference method in some cases 3) only clear tests if drug / bug combination listed in the drug labeling 4) no requirement for system re-evaluation if new R mechanisms 5) require new clinical trial data for device if breakpoint changes 18 9

10 Few AST Options Vitek 2 Phoenix MicroScan Etest Sensititre Disk #2 Disk #1 Ceftaroline Time to FDA- Clearance Note: time to market may be longer Months Ceftazidime-avibactam testing options: - Disk (backordered) - Etest (research use only) - Sensititre MICs (few labs use) Data derived from FDA website clearance dates for ceftaroline Regulatory challenges: Example, Accelerate Pheno Acinetobacter baumannii Amp- Sulbactam Piperacillintazobactam Cefepime Ceftazidime Cefriaxone Meropenem Amikacin Gentamicin Tobramycin Ciprofloxaci n Colistin AxDx Panel Y Y Old systems Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y N/Y (CLSI BP) Y, yes drug can be tested on system Why? No FDA BP for A. baumannii and the drugs! 10

11 What s coming? 1) 21 st Century Cures Act will help with AST regulatory dilemmas 2) Newer, rapid AST methods that are based on phenotype Accelerate Pheno System (FDA cleared) Rapid disk diffusion direct from blood (CLSI, EUCAST) Roche, MicrobeDx, LifeScale, BacterioScan, etc 3) Newer, more complete genotype methods DNAe, Qvella, GenMark, etc It s Friday at 4:15 55 yo female w/ history of diabetes mellitus, UTIs C. glabrata blood cultures x2, urine positive Receiving IV micafungin x 5 days, blood cultures have cleared Ophtho exam negative Ready for discharge?

16 So, again How do you find out that you re dealing with a resistant fungal infection? The (sorry) status of antifungal susceptibility testing CAP 2017 Survey: ~50% that do perform AFST only test: % of labs that do cultures Fluconazole Itraconazole Caspofungin # labs % of labs that do cultures ~30% use old breakpoints 0 Candida AST N testing Bacterial AST Source: CAP F and D Surveys,

17 What s the big deal? CLSI has updated breakpoints (species-specific), FDA has not Breakpoints only for some drugs, some spp. Sometimes an ECV Commercial manufacturers cannot get devices cleared without FDA breakpoint (21 st Century cures?) Very few commercial AFST options! YeastOne, Vitek 2 TM Disks, Etest rarely used How about identifications? Only reliable way to identify C. auris is use of MALDI-TOF (or sequencing) Must be using most up-to-date databases Only 245/1060 (23%) of labs in CAP survey identifying yeast use MALDI or sequencing 17

18 What s Coming? disappointingly little Rapid ID of Candida spp., direct from blood Rapid ID of Candida spp., from positive blood cultures No rapid systems currently include C. auris Are species-specific identifications enough? Probably not (for long) What do we need? 1. More antifungal susceptibility test methods, that are reliable! Molecular approaches for echinocandins (fks mutations) 2. More reliable diagnostics for fungi Zhao et al 2016 AAC 18

21 CMV Viral Load Testing Reasons for CMV VL discrepancies: Genomic diversity of virus strains Input volumes Extraction method Detection chemistry & reagents Operator-induced variability Assay calibration WHO International Standard CMV calibrator developed in 2010 Goal: eliminate variability 6 labs, 10 assay permutations Tested WHO QS Panel, compared to expected Tested 40 CMV-positive clinical specimens WHO Standard 94% within +/- 0.5 log Clinical Samples 59% within +/- 0.5 log Intra-assay precision good Why is it poor inter-assay? ( log) - Not genotype (trend for gb3) - Not quantity of virus in sample - Amplicon sizes inversely related to quant - Most CMV DNA is cell free & fragmented Bottom line: nope, not there yet. 21

22 How about CMV resistance testing? No commercial, FDA-cleared tests to date None in development Current standard: Sanger sequencing of PCR-amplified UL97 and UL54 genes Fails if VL is <1000 cp/ml Can only detect if mutation present in >20% of population Final thought on drugs vs. tests: where s the impact? New drugs Cost per day $250-$750 Per treatment course at least $3500-$10,500 Cost to institution depends on: - Clinical impact - Duration of therapy - Inpatient vs outpatient - Institutional guidelines/restrictions New tests $ per test Cost to institution depends on: - Screening vs. confirmatory test? - Population tested? - Inpatient vs outpatient - Institutional guidelines/restrictions Proven reductions in ICU stay, LOS, toxicities, & additional diagnostic work-up aid in overall cost Proven reductions in LOS, cost of antimicrobials Help reduce diagnostic uncertainty 22
