9 Canton Moreno - Update on EUCAST 2014 EUCAST subcommittee on resistance mechanisms Screening cut-off for carbapenemase producing Enterobacteriaceae 1 Best balance of sensitivity and specificity ; 2 In some cases zone diameters for OXA-48-producers are up to 26 mm, so <27 mm may be used as a screening cut-off in countries where OXA-48 is endemic, but at the expense of lower. Algorithm for phenotypic detection of carbapenemases Meropenem<25 mm with diskdiffusion or MIC >0.12 mg/l in all Enterobacteriaceae Synergy with APBA/PBA only Synergy with APBA/ PBA AND cloxacillin Synergy with DPA/EDTA only No synergy KPC (or other class A carbapenemase) AmpC (chromosomal and plasmid-acquired) AmpC plus porin loss Metallo-betalactamase (MBL) ESBL plus porin loss AND OXA-48 New EUCAST guidance documents Burkholderia cepacia complex guidance document Currently, it is not possible to recommend susceptibility testing of B. cepacia isolates to guide patient therapy Susceptibility testing is problematic: - unlike gradient MIC or disk diffusion, ISO broth microdilution gives reproducible MIC results - poor correlation between different methods Difficult to establish correlations of MICs and clinical outcomes - no evidence to describe a relationship between MIC and outcomes - B. cepacia is frequently part of a mixed infection - MIC distributions are wide and encompass the PK/PD breakpoints 9

10 Canton Moreno - Update on EUCAST 2014 Topical agents guidance document Superficial skin and external eye and ear infections but not for bowel decontamination or inhaled agents EUCAST has not found a consensus to resolve different opinions - use ECOFFs for agents when used topically - use clinical breakpoints when available and ECOFF when there are not clinical breakpoints Acceptable distributions are not available for all topical agents Only specific breakpoints for nasal decolonisation of S. aureus with mupirocin is supported with clinical data If tissue is involved the use of systemic treatment and systemic breakpoints should be considered Topical agents guidance document ECOFFs and systemic clinical breakpoints for antimicrobial agents that are used topically - = inappropriate combination; IE = insufficient evidence to set a clinical breakpoint; ND = No ECOFF defined on EUCAST MIC distribution website 1Agents also available for systemic use 2Breakpoints for nasal decontamination S 1, R>256 mg/l. EUCAST: What is coming for ? New and ongoing breakpoints (BP) with - EMA ceftobiprole, β-lactam-β-lactamase inhibitor combinations macrolides, tetracyclines, glycopeptides, oxazolidinones delamanid and other antimicobacterial agent - CLSI colistin (under TATFAR initiative) - NACs temocillin, nitroxoline, spiramycin, tigecycline, aztreonam - Ciprofloxacin and N. meningitidis - N. gonorrhoeae and various antimicrobials - Daptomycin and enterococci - Organisms-agent combinations lacking clinical data supporting BP New RD documents (new agents and new RD due to revised BP) New documents, technical notes / guidance documents - new version of expert rules (v3) - dissociated clindamycin resistance (staphylococci and streptococci) - SOPs (format and revision of EUCAST documents, ) 10

12 Brown - External quality assessment Antimicrobial susceptibility testing with EUCAST breakpoints and methods External quality assessment Derek Brown EUCAST Scientific Secretary Chairman, UK NEQAS Specialist Advisory Group on AST External Quality Assessment (EQA, proficiency testing) The challenge of laboratory procedures with specimens of known but undisclosed content The EQA process (UK NEQAS) Prepare samples Participants Examine samples Report results Analyse results Prepare report Participants Evaluate performance 12

13 Brown - External quality assessment Benefits of EQA in antimicrobial susceptibility testing For the individual laboratory: Independent assessment of performance Assessment of performance over time Comparison with other laboratories Highlights problem areas Performance indicator for accreditation Gives practical experience of difficult tests and uncommon resistances Benefits of EQA in antimicrobial susceptibility testing Wider benefits: Provides background information and discussion of problem tests Performance related to guidelines and methods (International differences highlighted) Limitations of EQA in antimicrobial susceptibility testing Number of specimens distributed is small May be considered inappropriate to send some organisms Specimens do not reflect routine isolates Laboratories may not treat specimens as routine 13

Reporting inducible AmpC in Enterobacteriaceae EUCAST Expert rule 9.2. for Enterobacter spp. (also C. freundii, Serratia spp., M. morganii and Providencia spp. If susceptible in vitro, use of cefotaxime, ceftriaxone or ceftazidime in monotherapy (or in combination with an aminoglycoside) should be discouraged owing to risk of selecting resistance. Reports should note this or results should be suppressed. CLSI Report as susceptible if they appear so in susceptibility tests, but with a warning that resistance may develop during treatment and that repeat isolates should be retested.. and some resistances are just difficult to detect 19

21 Brown - External quality assessment External quality assessment -summary EQA provides valuable data on performance for individual laboratories In general, performance is good for most organism-agent combinations Performance can be linked to guidelines and methods used for some tests Discrepancies more common when: Differences between guidelines Failure to follow guidelines Susceptibility borderline Confusion over reporting Tests are difficult There is a marked trend towards use of EUCAST breakpoints 21

23 Turnidge Susceptibility testing systems are some more equal than others? ALL SYSTEMS ARE EQUAL, BUT SOME SYSTEMS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS The ISO Reference Standard Desirable Features of a Susceptibility Testing System Methods Reliability Reproducibility, intra and inter laboratory Accuracy Precision International reference standard To which it has been calibrated High predictive value patient outcome Driven by breakpoint selection 23

24 Turnidge Susceptibility testing systems are some more equal than others? Broth or Disc Method? Broth methods Basis of semi automated systems More readily comparable to the reference method Can generate MIC values (if on scale) which can be directly plugged into PK PD parameters Disk methods Much more flexible Requires good correlation with MIC breakpoints.
