1 PulseNet Gestalt John Besser Minnesota Department of Health
2 Questions I Was sked to ddress How are epidemiologic investigations affected by 2 nd enzyme data? re investigations delayed until results are available? Does delay affect the outcome of investigations? re resources wasted if 2 nd enzymes later reveal that multiple patterns were found and therefore a common source is less likely? How often are epi clusters found that do not correlate with PFGE 2 enzyme clusters? re further investigations conducted or additional lab testing done (3 rd enzyme, MLV for salmonella)? What happens if no epi links can be found for 2 enzyme clusters? What effect does the inclusion of unrelated cases have on epi analyses such as hypothesis generation, odds ratio, etc?
3 Implications of the Two Enzyme Policy Sensitivity, specificity, and significance issues Public health/regulatory action Practical implications

30 inflection point Type II error Type II error significance specificity of case definition
31 Gram Rxn genus species Tenover group subtype subtype, 2 enz Specificity Sensitivity discrimination How much discrimination is the right amount of discrimination?
32 It Depends On. The question you re trying to answer Prevalence of exposure Prevalence / type of agent Number of cases Other factors which contribute to specificity of case definition
33 Question: What is the vehicle for illnesses in a recognized outbreak?
34 Question: re two recognized outbreaks connected?
35 Question: What is the extent of an outbreak?
36 Question: Is there a clonal relationship between strains in different locations? Case Definition: Y. pestis isolated (biovar orientalis) from different geographic areas Burma India Indonesia US Vietnam Courtesy Kristy Kubota, CDC; ICEID Poster k2006
37 Question: Is their a common source for a cluster of cases?
38 For hypothesis generating and testing: In general, more subtype specificity is better..to a point
39 Factors That ffect the Need for Specificity Prevalence of exposure Prevalence / type of agent Number of cases
40 Odds Ratio exp+ exp- case C control B D OR = D CB
41 Prevalence of Exposure exp+ exp- case C control B D OR = D C B Odds ratio: inversely proportional to odds ratio
42 Low Prevalence Exposure case control exp+ exp- C B D Example: my mother s fruit cocktail surprise OR = D CB Consequence: less cases needed to reach significance
43 High Prevalence Exposure case control exp+ B Example: tomato consumption exp- C D OR = D CB Consequence: more cases needed to reach significance
44 Specific Exposure Definition case control exp+ exp- C B D Example: tomato consumption, supplier X OR = D CB Consequence: less cases needed to reach significance
45 Specificity and ssociation Exposure: tomatoes Case: S. Montevideo Control: not ill Exposed Not Exposed controls cases
46 Specificity and ssociation Exposure: tomatoes Case: S. Montevideo Control: not ill Case Control Exposed 6 3 Not Exposed 5 4 controls odds ratio = 1.6 cases
47 Specificity and ssociation Exposure: source tomatoes Case: S. Montevideo Control: not ill Tomato source Tomato source B Store X Store Y controls cases
48 Specificity and ssociation Exposure: source tomatoes Case: S. Montevideo Control: not ill Case Control Exposed 5 1 Not Exposed 6 6 controls odds ratio = 5 cases
49 Refining the EXPOSURE information: Increases signal noise ratio

54 Low Prevalence gent case control exp+ exp- C B D Example: Salmonella Poona OR = D CB Few misclassified cases
55 High Prevalence gent case control exp+ exp- C B D Example: S. Typhimurium common subtype OR = D CB Many misclassified cases

70 Microbial DN Fingerprinting : dependent on continuous genetic change
71 Question: Does the DN in a specimen match the DN in an individual? Human DN testing X Year
72 Crime investigation: 22 Odds of exposure given illness Outbreak investigation: No. of cases in With PFGE OR = 17.1; p = 0.005
73 Multi-State Salmonella Typhimurium Outbreak ssociated with Cold Stone Creamery Ice Cream gent: rare (never seen before subtype), multiple cases, multiple states Temporal relationship: 10 cases/1 week Exposure: rare ( cake batter ice cream )
74 Implications of the Two Enzyme Policy Sensitivity, specificity, and significance issues Public health/regulatory action Practical implications
75 Practical Considerations gent and exposure prevalence information is not generally available Routine real-time 2 nd enzyme assays speeds up investigation and interventions for those situations where it s needed
76 Practical Considerations Multiple case definitions may be needed (e.g. definitions based on 2 enzymes, 1 enzyme, and no PFGE) if the number of cases is small significance specificity of case definition
77 Practical Considerations I you can t use 2 nd enzyme analysis on all recommended pathogens: use for clusters of common subtypes, or when highprevalence exposures are suspected
78 When are 2 nd enzymes likely necessary? Exposure common rare gent common rare ++ + lso recommended High consequence pathogens Multi-state clusters
79 Practical Considerations The 2 enzyme policy is designed to make specific agent data readily available It is NOT a required criteria for epidemiological significance!
80 Practical Considerations Lack of 2 enzyme data is NOT reason to delay a public health action, if a significant association is found with any other case definition
81 Subtype Interpretation subtype mismatch does not automatically exclude association subtype match does not guarantee association The significance of a subtype match is greater if the agent and/or exposure is rare More so than human DN fingerprinting, molecular subtype data cannot be evaluated outside epidemiological context
82 Practical Considerations Obtaining sensitive and specific exposure information is at least as important as agent specificity (Realtime interview, detailed, open-ended questions)
83 Important notes for epidemiology investigators: a Using strict case definitions based on two enzymes is useful for increasing the specificity of hypothesis generation and testing. However, since multiple PFGE strains are on occasion found among epidemiologically-linked cases, investigators should not rule out using both stringent case definitions based on two enzyme results and less stringent case definitions based on single enzyme results. b The significance of clusters is dependent on epidemiological measures. In any particular situation, second enzyme results may or may not ultimately prove to be a useful refinement of the case definition. While it is prudent for laboratories to begin second enzyme testing under these circumstances, this does NOT mean that investigators should wait for the second enzyme results before taking action. c In all cases, investigators should obtain as specific exposure information as possible, which strengthens measures of association between illness and exposure
