2 Microbiological challenges in critical care Limited time, narrow window to diagnose, treat, intervene Organ failure tissue penetration of antibiotics, drug metabolism / elimination (altered Pk & Pd) High antimicrobial usage cost, AMR, CDAD (C. difficile associated diarrhoea) Lack of isolation facilities leading to greater infection control risks

3 Strategies for Infection Management in Critical Care ICU rounds: microbiologists with intensivists on infection management Prompt communication of microbiology results Change, stop, optimize / augment antimicrobial Rx Infection prevention and control Microbiology result interpretation / feedback to ICU team regarding AMR, audit and policy implementation Rational utilization of diagnostic, therapeutic and infection prevention / control resources

4 Sepsis: SIRS vs sepsis Systemic response to infection, characterized by hemodynamic, metabolic and inflammatory derangement, presenting as SIRS (mild) or progress to severe sepsis and septic shock (ACCP/ SCCM Consensus Conference Committee 1992) SIRS: by heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, WBC count Sepsis: SIRS + high clinical suspicion of / microbiologically confirmed infection

5 Current status Confirmation of sepsis ID of triggering pathogens to guide Rx Conventional approach Culture, mostly blood biochemical ID susceptibility Lacks sensitivity Slow Promotes prolonged pre-emptive and empirical broad-spectrum antibiotics abuse escalates AMR 25-40% of culture +ve cases retrospectively didn t get proper antibiotic

6 Blood culture Central role in detection of bacteremia, differentiate SIRS from sepsis Enable antibiotic Rx to be rationalized by pathogen ID & AMST Provide clinical gold standard in D of bloodstream infections Can establish diagnosis in difficult, deep-seated infections Surveillance data- important epidemiological tool for empirical Rx

7 Current status Confirmation of sepsis ID of triggering pathogens to guide Rx Conventional approach Culture, mostly blood biochemical ID susceptibility Lacks sensitivity Slow Promotes prolonged pre-emptive and empirical broad-spectrum antibiotics abuse escalates AMR 25-40% of culture +ve cases retrospectively didn t get proper antibiotic

10 Need for growth independent: Detection Identification Susceptibility

11 Nucleic acid tests (NAT) NAT revolutionized diagnosis of infectious agent PCR RT-PCR Multiplexing Advantages Results in few hours Not affected by viability, prior antimicrobial Rx Higher sensitivity

22 Clinical implications Growth independent, all produce valuable molecular info fast Minimally confounded by antimicrobial Rx All require substantial technical expertise Two require preprocessing to remove human genomic DNA VYOO, SepsiTest require electrophoresis, not routine procedure, and sequencing, demands time None approved in US Lack of RCT to prove- mol diagn info can directly improve patient care Cost FilmArray : 3 m hands-on, 1 h TAT, best potential

26 Sepsis biomarkers are metabolites, chemicals, proteins or genes associated with: Biomarkers oxygenation state of tissues / organs oxidative injury by reactive species inflammatory & immune response alteration of coagulation or complement system endothelial dysfunction or tissue necrosis

27 Markers of acute inflammation ESR, CRP (APR, cytokines hepatocytes CRP) Nonspecific; inflammation, not infection CRP useful in severity and progression of disease, cannot differentiate SIRS vs sepsis Normal <10 mg/l, in 4-6h, several 100x in h, in 48h IL-6 (pro-inflam cytokine), LPS-binding protein (LBP) Good predictive & prognostic value but non-specific (trauma, surgery, stroke) LBP better than IL-6 & PCT in critically ill but needs validation in bigger RCTs
