Impact of MALDI TOF on AST NATHAN READING SENIOR BIOMEDICAL SCIENTIST MICROBIOLOGY SANDWELL AND WEST BIRMINGHAM HOSPITALS NHS TRUST NATHAN.READING@NHS.NET @NATHANR999 ANTIMICROBIAL SUSCEPTIBILITY TESTING METHOD USER DAY 8 TH JULY 2014
Overview Context Susceptibility Testing Implications Of MALDI TOF. MALDI TOF and ART practicalities Influencing Antimicrobial Prescribing Faster Sensitivity Testing? Conclusions.
About us Large District General Hospital Trust c.900 beds (Split across two hospital sites ) Serves approx 400,000 patients Tertiary referral Ophthalmology inc A&E Unified microbiology lab on single site Previous home of BSAC Standardized Susceptibility Testing Method Development Centre. Key interest in A.S.T.
Why MALDI TOF at City Hospital? Efficiency Redesign our workflow Reconfiguration of service providers locally 7 other microbiology laboratories within 10 miles 4 within 5 miles! Improvement of our service for users. Decrease time to detection of pathogens Improved decision support Standardise our ID methods to a single platform Opportunity to get first VITEK MS in U.K. clinical laboratory.
Why VITEK MS MALDI TOF at City Hospital? Current VITEK 2 User AST and GN/GP ID Easy integration to attach ID to sensitivity testing using MYLA middleware solution. MYLA also has connectivity to our automated sample processing and blood culture system Middleware is now potentially a powerful management tool Smart Incubators/Sample preparation in the future Very simple ID protocol Minimal extraction (Formic Acid for Yeasts only done on target) Simple sample preparation on disposable targets
Why is MALDI TOF important for AST/ART? Accurate identification can be used to predict phenotype Inducible AmpC production. Morganella, Serratia, Enterobacter, Citrobacter, Providencia Ampicillin Resistant, Co amoxyclav Resistant, 3G Ceph Intrinsic Vancomycin Resistance Some Enterococci (VanC) Colistin Resistance Serratia sp Stenotrophomonas, Elizabethkingia, Chryseomonas Carbapenem = R
Why is MALDI TOF important for AST/ART? Most breakpoint tables, zone diameter and MIC built using SPECIFIC species. BSAC EUCAST If the species isn t named or part of a group then there is no specific guidance! Use of foot notes and species guidance Aminoglycosides, Ciprofloxacin, Cefuroxime and Salmonella sp. Vancomycin for Coag Neg Staphs vs S.aureus
Validation. Do we trust the ID provided? CE/FDA IVD Only database reduced need to validate? Performance claims assured? Non conformity or non performance addressed via regulatory bodies MHRA? UKAS/CPA Stds F1.1, F1.2 and ISO 15189 Non CE IVD Database Extensive and robust validation? Implications when using with patients?
Validation Approximately 1400 highly characterised strains 93.8% 100% Species ID correct 97.4% 100% Group/Family Level ID Correct 98.5% 100% Genus Level ID Correct Reading et al.

Validation Direct Comparison 400 further isolates Parallel testing with current API VITEK 2 Phenotypic/Biochemical/Microscopy No misidentification when compared to traditional Limitations of database Strains not included Slash line ID?
Our ROUTINE workflow time saving? When was ID available compared to traditional method? Same 400 isolates REAL WORLD performance Time to Identification Organism Traditional (mean/range)/hours MALDI TOF (mean/range)/hours 19/15 29 1.5 / 0.3 4 10 /6 22, 13/8 36 1.5/ 0.3 3, 2/ 0.5 4 Streptococci 8/ 0.1 32 1.5/ 0.3 4 HACEK 18 / 17 39 1.3/ 0.3 3 Yeasts 34 / 18 68 1/ 0.3 5 10 / 9 27 1.3/ 0.3 4 Staphylococci GNB (Ferm/Non Ferm) Enterococci
Our ROUTINE workflow MS is now de facto first line ID No latex for Staphylococci and Streptococcal Grouping No Dnase plate No Germ Tubes API/VITEK 2 only on occasion, Shigella spp, S.typhi. ID set up and results reviewed by bench readers as cultures read. Processed in groups of 16 isolates Organism ID ready for choice of sensitivity testing.
Our ROUTINE workflow Lab Aspects Decrease turnaround times Bacterial Identification available earlier. Standardised identification platform Reduction of identification methods Reduction of training requirements Reduction of reagent requirements Reduced transport & packaging sustainability Reduced storage space/refrigeration requirements Increased throughput capacity Addresses pathology reconfiguration requirements Locally and Nationally
Efficient susceptibility testing Effective Identification Only test appropriate isolates. Reduction of wastage Non S.aureus strains but Staphylococcal Latex Positive, Dnase equivocal/positive Staphylococcus lugdunensis Oxidase positive non Pseudomonas non fermenters Only test appropriate antibiotics Specific panels based on Genus vs general broad panels
Our workflow savings/improvements?s. aureus Latex and DNase 2 3 Isolates per day through Vitek 2 NOT S. aureus Cost approximately 5.00 per isolate (Purity plate, Vitek 2 Consumables, Staff Time) 1 week study 11 Isolates non S. aureus Extrapolated saving 2800 p.a.?s. pneumoniae Optochin/Bile Solubility Approximately 1.15 per isolate (Plate, Discs, Staff Time) Approximately 20% not S.pneumoniae Extroplated saving 350 p.a.

Impact of Direct Blood Culture ID using MALDI TOF. MALDI TOF direct identification, would have led to modification of empirical therapy of 18 patients (12.32%) If TNase media not used then potential for a further 47 patients to have been positively impacted. Total potential impact 67/146 patients (44.5%) All 16 bottles of AmpC producing Enterobacteriaceae species from 8 patients were correctly identified at the species level by MALDI TOF. Direct identification for Enterobacter spp. would have lead to broadening of antibiotic in 6 patients. In 5 of these patients, there was delay in starting appropriate antibiotics for 48 hrs. One patient with Enterobacter spp. bacteraemia died 24 hrs. after starting inappropriate antibiotic for sepsis. Identification on day 1 likely to have had a definite impact on patient management.

Impact of Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry on the Clinical Management of Patients With Gram negative Bacteremia: A Prospective Observational Study Clerc. O et al. Clin Infect Dis. (2013) 56. (8):1101 1107 MALDI TOF identification led to a modification of empirical therapy in 71 of all 202 cases (35.1%), and in 16 of 27 cases (59.3%) of monomicrobial bacteremia caused by AmpC producing Enterobacteriaceae.
Extending the use of MALDI in AST. Identification of organism in positive blood cultures Wider range of organisms vs. FISH Microscopy and CE Marked Multiplexed Molecular SEPSIS Assays Cheaper Very quick 30mins! Same day effective clinical advice Tailored therapy knowledge based vs. best guess. Better patient outcomes? Contaminant vs. Pathogen De escalate therapy earlier Pharmacy savings? Tailored direct sensitivity testing vs. wider range of panels Reduces cost.

WHAT ELSE? Typing Genus specific Some evidence of clustering of similar strains Not currently routine Many of the studies on small numbers Specific resistance markers PBP2, Van A/B Current systems in routine not currently Some work on MRSA very early on Confounding studies Carbapenem Resistance in Bateroides fragilis Nagy et al. Delineate strains Carbapenem resistant from sensitive CfiA positive vs CfiA negative
Antibiotic resistance screening? Sufficiently robust and accurate for ROUTINE? Good performance with known isolates and in expert labs Maybe good, cost effective option in outbreaks Delineate ESBL/AMPC + Impermeability vs Carbapenemases Less active enzymes? Hydrolysis can be slow Labile substrates Experience of Carbapenemases and AST? Yes/No simplified result. Advantages over molecular confirmation?
Conclusions Striving for robust ROUTINE identification Good quality databases which are CE IVD marked Enables trust in identification, secure clinical decisions Need speed of Resistance Testing to catch up New technologies Re evaluation of existing? Ensuring Resistance Testing is performed accurately in context to identification Right method for right organisms
