23 Identification Issues w/ C. auris

24 C. auris Identification Issues New emergence of C. auris creates a problem for identification Not included in databases Phenotypically nondescript White to cream-colored colonies on Sabouraud Pink to beige on CHROMagar Form ovoid to elongated budding yeast but typically no pseudohyphea or hyphea on corn meal or rice Tween 80 agar Grows at 37 C and 42 C

25 Performance of Commercial Systems Methodology API 20C BD Phoenix MicroScan Rapid Yeast Plus Vitek 2 YST* C. auris misidentified as: Rhodotorula glutinis Candida sake Candida catenulata Candida haemulonii Candida famata Candida guilliermondii Candida lusitaniae Candida parapsilosis Candida parapsilosis Candida haemulonii Candida duobushhaemulonii *biomerieux reports that updated software for Vitek 2 Yst (ver. 8.01) allows for C. auris identification Adapted from

31 CDC Identification Recommendations All Candida isolates from normally sterile sites (e.g., bloodstream, CSF) should be identified to the species level ~54% of C. auris isolates are from blood Isolates from non-sterile sites should be identified: When clinically indicated for patient care When a C. auris infection/colonization is detected When a patient had an overnight stay at a healthcare facility in a country with documented C. auris infections

36 Antifungal Susceptibility

37 Antifungal Susceptibility Testing Currently no species specific breakpoints for C. auris CDC recommends performing antifungal susceptibility testing on all C. auris isolates CDC has tentative breakpoint information Correlation between breakpoints and clinical outcomes is unknown

38 CDC Tentative Breakpoints Drug Fluconazole Voriconazole Posaconazole Amphotericin B Tentative MIC Breakpoint (µg/ml) 32 N/A 2 Comment Modal MIC was 256; isolates w/ MIC of 32 had a resistance mutation in Erg11 gene Consider fluconazole susceptibility as surrogate for 2 nd generation triazoles; Isolate that fluconazole resistant may still respond to other triazoles Based on pharmoacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analysis in mouse model w/ standard dosing Caspofungin 2 Tentative breakpoints based on modal MIC Anidulafungin distribution of ~100 isolates from diverse 4 Micafungin geographic locations Adapted from

39 C. auris Antifungal MIC Data Spivak et al J Clin Micro 56(2):e

40 Additional Susceptibility Notes Tentative breakpoints are not established Not definitive Data could change Reports of falsely elevated amphotericin and caspofungin MICs with the Vitek 2 yeast susceptibility testing method

41 Antifungal Resistance Determinants Studies in C. albicans indicate that resistance occurs through overexpression of transporters, mutations in target gene and target protein overexpression Target site mutations known to confer fluconazole resistance in C. albicans have been identified in C. auris isolates C. auris genome contains numerous predicated transporters

42 Antifungal Resistance Determinants Studies in C. albicans indicate that resistance occurs through overexpression of transporters, mutations in target gene and target protein overexpression Target site mutations known to confer fluconazole resistance in C. albicans have been identified in C. auris isolates C. auris genome contains numerous predicated transporters

43 Treatment- CDC Recommendations Age Group Adults and children 2 months of age Neonates and infants < 2 months of age Initial Antifungal Treatment Echinocandin; Patients should be carefully monitored for clinical improvement, and follow-up cultures (repeat susceptibility testing) Amphotericin B deoxycholate, if unresponsive then liposomal amphotericin B Consultation with infectious disease specialist is highly recommended CDC does not recommend treating C. auris isolates from noninvasive sites when there is no evidence of infection

44 Infection Prevention

45 Infection Prevention Transmission within hospitals of C. auris has been documented C. auris can colonize the skin and mucosa and environmental surfaces Contact mediated transmission seems quite probable

46 CDC Recommendations Patients with C. auris should be in a singlepatient room with standard and contact precautions Continue precautions for as long the patient is colonized (months?) Emphasis on hand hygiene Alcohol-based hand sanitizers can be used If hands visibly soile, wash w/ soap and water

47 CDC Recommendations Cleaning and disinfection of patient care environment Use EPA-registered hospital-grad disinfectant effective against Clostridioides difficile spores Thorough daily and terminal cleaning Screening contacts of identified case patients for C. auris colonization

48 CDC Screening Recommendations Axilla and groin appear to be the most commonly colonized site (although also found in nose, external ear canal, oropharynx, urine, wounds and rectum) Composite swab of the axilla and groin Contact local public health lab to coordinate with CDC and AR Lab Network

49 C. auris Final Comments As more information is being gained, changes will occur CDC website is a great resource (link below) Contact CDC at candidaauris@cdc.gov

50 Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE)

51 CRE are an categorized as an urgent threat by the CDC Along w/ β-lactam resistance, resistance to other drug classes can occur

52 Current CDC Definition for CRE (released in 2015) Resistance to doripenem, ertapenem, imipenem, or meropenem OR documentation of carbapenemase production Requires use of the current CLSI carbapenem breakpoints Can be a general description that does not describe the mechanism

53 Current CDC Definition for CRE (released in 2015) Resistance to doripenem, ertapenem, imipenem, or meropenem OR documentation of carbapenemase production Proteus Requires spp., use Providencia of the current spp. CLSI and carbapenem Morganella spp. breakpoints may have elevated minimal MICs to imipenem (not to be considered CRE) Can be a general description that does not describe the mechanism

54 CRE Non-carbapenemase - Non-CP-CRE - Cephalosporinase (ESBL, AmpC) - Porin, pump upregulation Carbapenemase - CP-CRE - β-lactamase that degrades carbapenems - IMP, KPC, NDM, OXA, VIM

64 Vast majority of laboratories use commercial automated antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST) systems Revised carbapenem breakpoints requires laboratories to perform verification studies Clin Infect Dis 66(7):

65 Survey of California Laboratories Conducted Fall of 2015 to Spring (67%) of 392 hospitals and long-term acute care hospitals responded 129 unique clinical microbiology laboratories (1 lab did not perform AST, 2 did not disclose AST method) Data from 128 laboratories Humphries et al Clin Infect Dis 66(7):
