DISCLOSURES Dr. Timbrook serves on the speakers bureau and as an advisory consultant for BioFire Diagnostics, LLC and GenMark Diagnostics, Inc.

OUTLINE Discuss systematic review and meta-analysis of rapid diagnostics in bloodstream infections Review performance of genotypic resistance detection in gram negative infections, actionability of results, and potential for eplex BCID Beyond identification and resistance detections, highlight the potential clinical advantage of eplex BCID in polymicrobial infections

Background Delays in time to effective therapy in bacteremia have been shown to be associated with increased mortality Rapid diagnostic testing (RDT) in bloodstream infections (BSI) have facilitated faster time to appropriate therapy Outcomes with RDT in BSI have not been consistent across all studies Objective: Determine overall effect of RDT in BSIs from published literature Timbrook TT, et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2017;64(1):15-23.

METHODS Literature Search Searched PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Embase Inception to 31 May 2016 for BSI studies Comparing clinical outcomes between mrdt and conventional microbiology Outcomes Mortality risk, mortality risk in studies with antimicrobial stewardship, mortality risk by organism, time to effective therapy, and length of stay (LOS) Data extraction and Analysis Mortality, time to effective therapy, and LOS were assessed using a random-effects model to estimate either pooled odds ratios (ORs) or weighted mean differences All meta-analyses were performed using Review Manager software (The Cochrane Collaboration, version 5.3) Timbrook TT, et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2017;64(1):15-23.

RESULTS Flow diagram of included studies 5,920 patients included among 31 studies Timbrook TT, et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2017;64(1):15-23.

RESULTS Study Characteristics Only 6 studies (19.4%) were conducted outside the United States The majority of studies included (26 of 31; 83.9%) were designed as pre- and postintervention quasi-experimental studies at mrdt initiation Majority, where reported, among adults (95.2%, 20/21) and academic medical centers Gram positive organism studies most abundant (54.8%) Timbrook TT, et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2017;64(1):15-23.

RESULTS Lab practices Varied greatly among studies Technology used, frequency of testing, and reporting process Of the 19 studies reporting the frequency of laboratory sample testing 5 (26.3%) reported real-time testing 10 (52.6%) reported batch testing between 1to 4 times daily Of 5 studies with real-time testing, only 2 noted real-time reporting Reporting also varied between primary team notification vs nursing Timbrook TT, et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2017;64(1):15-23.

RESULTS Antimicrobial Stewardship activities ASP facilitating mrdt represented the majority of the data (20 of 31 studies; 64.5%) Of the 14 studies reporting ASP notification processes, only half were 24 7 real-time The remainder had set response hours (eg, 8 AM to 5 PM; Monday Friday) or once daily review of results. Timbrook TT, et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2017;64(1):15-23.

RESULTS RDT reduced risk of mortality (OR 0.66, 95% CI 0.54 0.80) Subgroup of ASP RDT significantly decreased mortality while absence of ASP did not Calculated number needed to test of 20 to decrease mortality by 1 Timbrook TT, et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2017;64(1):15-23.

RESULTS Mortality decreased for gramnegative and gram-positive organisms No mortality reduction found for candidemias but sample was small Timbrook TT, et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2017;64(1):15-23.

RESULTS Time to effective therapy decreased by 5 hours Among VRE, decreased by 27 hours Timbrook TT, et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2017;64(1):15-23.

RESULTS Length of stay decreased by 2.5 days Timbrook TT, et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2017;64(1):15-23.

RDT IN BSI META-ANALYSIS CONCLUSIONS For BSIs, RDT was associated with significant decreases in mortality risk in the presence of a ASP, but not in its absence RDT also decreased the time to effective therapy and the length of stay RDT should be considered as part of the standard of care in patients with BSIs Timbrook TT, et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2017;64(1):15-23.

FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS AND OPPORTUNITIES Real-time testing vs batching Real-time stewardship vs intermittent Best practices / most effective practices for reporting RDT results Doing stewardship, I make one phone call a day to inform clinicians staph species per PCR means CoNS not S. aureus based on our labs preference in reporting practices

DO THE RESULTS OF THE META APPLY TO MY HOSPITAL? IT DEPENDS Inadequate therapy Escalation opportunities Time to effective therapy Mortality benefit Broadness of empiric therapy vs local resistance Overly broad therapy De-escalation opportunities Time to optimal therapy AE and collateral damage avoidance RDT and stewardship facilitated opportunities all around

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF GRAM NEGATIVE RESISTANCE DETECTION? Approximately 50.6% of empiric regimens for ESBL organisms are inappropriate and 76.4% for Carbapenemase-producing organisms Inadequately treated resistant gram negative infections associated with higher mortality rates (38.4% vs 27.4%; p=.049) A pre-post study using a gram-negative panel with resistance markers among 195 bacteremias noted a 34h decrease in time to effective therapy among ESBL isolates (41.4h vs 7.3h; p=.04) Harris P, et al. Int J Antimicrob Agents. 2017;50(5):664-672 Kang C, et al. AAC. 2005;49(2):760-766. Walker T, et al. JCM. 2016;54(7):1789-96.

GRAM NEGATIVE RESISTANCE IS INCREASING Veterans Affairs data across 130 facilities and from 2003-2013 Increasing nonsusceptibility such as ESBL E. coli (Right) Goto M, et al. EID. 2017;23(11):1815-1825.

DOES GRAM NEGATIVE RESISTANCE DETECTION OFFER ACTIONABLE RESULTS IN REAL-WORLD SETTINGS? Detroit Medical Center and University of Maryland evaluated the performance of a gram-negative panel with resistance detection against automated susceptibility testing Evaluation of predictive performance of the panel across a two diverse hospital settings From June 2015-July 2016 Claeys KC, et al.

DOES GRAM NEGATIVE RESISTANCE DETECTION OFFER ACTIONABLE RESULTS IN REAL-WORLD SETTINGS? With >90% NPV and high PPV, authors noted clinical utility for antimicrobial stewardship in escalating and de-escalating therapy with the exception of P. aeruginosa due to the complex resistance mechanisms Similar results seen from Rodel et al DMID 2016 ESBL NPV 93.3, PPV 100 Gram negative resistance detection is an essential tool for antimicrobial stewardship to improve patient outcomes Claeys KC, et al. ECCMID 2017.

WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF EPLEX BCID? Beyond advantages in gram-negative resistance detection, eplex BCID can facilitate polymicrobial bloodstream infection detection missed by gram-stain directed testing platforms Gram stain directed testing may miss polymicrobial bloodstream infections by not readily identifying all organism during HPF review eplex BCID has broad inclusivity of gram-positive and gram-negative resistance genes so resistance gene benefits extend more broadly compared to other RDT systems Timbrook T, et al. J Clin Microbiol. 2015;53(7):2371-2373.

SUMMARY RDT, such as eplex BCID, in bloodstream infections may impact mortality risk when combined with antimicrobial stewardship RDT in BSIs are associated with decreased the time to effective therapy and the length of stay RDT should be considered as part of the standard of care in patients with BSIs

SUMMARY Gram-negative resistance is increasing nationally in the United States eplex BCID is designed to provide clinically impactful results for patients with bloodstream infections eplex BCID offers advantages in gram-negative resistance detection along with polymicrobial BSI detection
