24 Bottom Line The field of diagnostic microbiology is undergoing its most radical transformation since Pasteur

25 CIDT Challenges Patient care Accurate case counting Maintaining isolate-based surveillance

26 CIDT Challenges Patient care o Interpretation o High specificity* Accurate case counting Maintaining isolate-based surveillance * detects only what you re looking for

27

28 Multicenter Campylobacter Test Evaluation

29 CIDT Challenges Patient care o Interpretation o High specificity* Accurate case counting Maintaining isolate-based surveillance * detects only what you re looking for

30 Accurate Case Counts: Burden, Attribution, Trends

31

32 Public Health CIDT Challenges Patient care Accurate case counting Maintaining isolate-based surveillance o Strain tracking (including WGS) o Susceptibility surveillance o Virulence, vaccine efficacy * detects only what you re looking for

36 Nationwide reporting began in 1912 Reported Salmonella infections in the United States, Typhoid Fever Non-typhoid Salmonellosis Incidence per 100,000 population CDC, National surveillance data National salmonella serotype surveillance Years

37 Listeriosis Surveillance System LM case Interview Cases Isolates State/Local Health Agency Case / Food questionnaire Isolates CDC EMBL (Europe) NCBI (GenBank) analysis upload WGS PFGE PulseNet WGS Case-Case Studies DDBJ (Japan) WGS PFGE International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration GenomeTrakR Food / animal, environment sampling FDA USDA

38 Next era?

39 Listeria Cluster Metrics Before and After WGS Pre-WGS (Sept 2012 Aug 2013) WGS Year 1 (Sept 2013 Aug 2014) WGS Year 2 (Sept 2014 Aug 2015) No. of clusters detected N/A 6 6 No. of clusters detected sooner or only by WGS No. of outbreaks solved (food source identified) 3 Median no. of cases per cluster Note that cluster 1508MLGX6-1WGS counted as solved with 24 cases

40 Listeria and Caramel Apples 35 cases 12 states 34 hospitalizations 7 deaths

43 Point-and-Click Epidemiology* *case-case study still in development

44 Subtyping Methods: Isolate Dependency Method Isolates Required? PFGE Yes MLVA Yes WGS Yes

45 Nationwide reporting began in 1912 Reported Salmonella infections in the United States, Typhoid Fever Non-typhoid Salmonellosis Incidence per 100,000 population CDC, National surveillance data National salmonella serotype surveillance Years

46 It is ironic that new tests which are likely better for patient care could result in many thousands of additional cases per year if appropriate measures are not taken.

51 Strategy to Address Loss of Isolates for Public Health Activities 1. Preserve cultures Surveillance by current methods (serotyping, AST, PFGE, MLVA etc.) Device industry consult Regulatory / legal Reimbursement New isolate recovery methods Sentinel surveillance 2.

69 From Dr. Jo Williams Core gene alignments (no gaps). Choose a pseudorandom subset (40). Create uncorrected pairwise distance matrix. # diffs / alignment length The Wallace coefficient quantifies the likelihood that an isolate appears in the same cluster by two different methods. Provides directional information (i.e. can detect when one method is more discriminatory than the other). Cluster by furthest neighbor (complete linkage). Compare cluster assignments to all core gene classification via Adjusted Wallace Coefficient. Adjusted version takes into account that the agreement between two methods could be due to chance alone.
