Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs
*These programs help: *reduce inappropriate antimicrobial use
*improve the quality of patient care
*reduce treatment failure rates
*reduce selective pressures that promote resistant
organisms
*reduce hospital Clostridium difficile infection rates
*save hospital money

How do these three things fit together?
Molecular
Diagnostics
Antimicrobial
Resistance
Antimicrobial
Stewardship
Three Critical Issues for Diagnostics
*Multiple rapid technologies available that provide accurate
diagnosis of infectious diseases often in <1 hour, but uptake by
laboratories has been slow, impeding both therapy and infection
control.
*Rapid diagnostics can improve antimicrobial stewardship but
often need an intermediary, such as a PharmD (pharmacist), to
ensure results are used in a timely manner
*Rapid diagnostics for infection control in some cases are deemed
“too sensitive.” When it comes to preventing spread of MDROs or
C. difficile, is there such a thing as too sensitive for infection
control?
Why Use Molecular Methods for Infectious
Disease Diagnosis?
*Conventional detection methods are too slow*Improve diagnosis of tuberculosis (2 hours vs 3-4 weeks)
*Conventional methods lack sensitivity*Replace inaccurate rapid antigen tests for influenza
*Adequate conventional tests did not exist*Detection of Noroviruses
*Improve antimicrobial stewardship*Rapid results can guide use of antibacterials, antifungals, and antivirals

*Use PCR to screen wounds for MRSA and do PCR nasal screen for MRSA
if patient was going to be admitted to the hospital
*Results available prior to ED discharge in 100% of cases. Turnaround
times: nasal 73 min. and wounds 79 min.
*Ideal antibiotic selection rates improved by 45% in the PCR group
* Conclusion: Using a rapid PCR MRSA assay is an opportunity to
improve antibiotic selection for abscesses and improve infection
control by indicating which patients are colonized prior to admission
SUMMARYPre-operative screening using culture-or molecular-based
methods and subsequent decolonization of patients who are
positive for meticillin-susceptible S. aureus and meticillin-
resistant S. aureus (MRSA) reduces SSIs and hospital stay.
Universal decolonization pre-operatively without screening
for S. aureus may compromise the capacity to monitor for the
emergence of new clones of S. aureus, contribute to
mupirocin resistance, and prevent the adjustment of surgical
prophylaxis for MRSA.
“In five of six strains tested, adaptation to chlorhexidine also led
to resistance to the last resort antibiotic colistin”
CONCLUSION: The potential risk of colistin
resistance emerging in K. pneumoniae as a consequence of exposure to chlorhexidine has
important clinical implications in infection prevention procedures.
Will universal decolonization promote resistance to antibiotic of last resort?
Is PCR too sensitive for infection control
when detecting C. difficile, especially in
patients with diarrhea?

Real-time polymerase chain reaction correlates well with clinical diagnosis of Clostridium difficile infection
• “This study addresses an important question for physicians, hospitals, and policy makers: do toxin-negative patients with a positive C difficile PCR test result require treatment?”
• This was not a study to assess the role of isolation in preventing transmission, but this issue cannot be dismissed or ignored
• 1416 hospitalized adults were evaluated, including
‒131 Tox+/PCR+ patients (9.3%)
‒162 Tox−/PCR+ patients (11.4%)
‒1123 Tox−/PCR− patients (79.3%).
20.7% are PCR +
these have similar
outcomes
• Direct cytotoxin testing detected 30% more cases than antigen testing
• 66 of 162 (41%) PCR+/Toxin- patients were treated for CDI
(physicians not aware of PCR+ results, only toxin-negative)
21%
were
positive
Methods: GDH screen suspected CDI patients with diarrhea, confirm with PCR;
if positive test for toxin A/B
*Compared results from 169 CDI cases [≥3 stools, cytotoxin, toxigenic culture (TC) +] 115 cases positive by both assays; 54 positive by TC only (same result as PCR)
*31.9% of true CDI cases would have been missed if only cytotoxin assays had been used for diagnosis
*This included 10% of severe cases and 1 pseudomembranous colitis case
*149 stools positive by Quik-check complete algorithm, Xpert Cdiff on GDH+/toxin- samples
*56 were GDH+/toxin negative/PCR+
*Conclusion: Diarrhea positive only by TC (PCR) should not be ruled out as colonization without further review
*45% of positive cases would have been missed if PCR not used as part of Quik-Check complete algorithm
“The presence of a binary toxin gene was the single virulence factor independently
associated with recurrence (p <0.02).”
“Binary toxin either is a marker for more virulent C. difficile strains or contributes
directly to strain virulence. Efforts to control C. difficile infection should target all
virulent strains irrespective of PCR ribotype.”
Xpert C diff BT identifies strains producing Binary toxin, even in Toxin A-/Toxin B- strains
Study Conclusions: “This study supports the hypothesis
that carriers of C. difficile contribute to transmission within
hospitals. Approximately a quarter of isolates from
Healthcare Associated -CDI cases were highly related to
isolates from asymptomatic patients identified from
screening tests. This finding suggests that screening and
isolating patients with carriage could potentially lead to
further reductions in CDI incidence.”

with toxigenic Clostridium difficile transmit
infection to other patients?
*YES
*Should they be in contact precautions?

Conclusions.” We observed extensive
transfer of KPC-positive patients
throughout the exposure network of
14 acute care hospitals, 2 LTACHs,
and 10 nursing homes. Although few
cases were identified at most
institutions, many facilities were
affected. Successful control of
KPC-producing Enterobacteriaceae
will require a coordinated,
regional effort among acute
and long-term health care facilities
and public health departments. “

CONCLUSIONS
*Many patient populations are already benefiting from rapid
molecular test results, especially for sepsis, tuberculosis, and
C. difficile infection
*Rapid results are only effective if they are communicated
rapidly to physicians and infection preventionists.
*When it comes to stopping the spread of “urgent threat” MDROs
in healthcare settings, including C. difficile, there is no such
thing as a test that is “too sensitive”.
