Staphylococcus spp. – Penicillin - 2012
The story…..
> 90% of staphylococci are penicillin “R”
Penicillin rarely considered for treatment of staphylococcal infections
– …BUT - Penicillin might be considered for infections requiring lengthy therapy (e.g., endocarditis, osteomyelitis) - IF penicillin were known to be “S”
Some Staphylococcus spp. that test “S” to penicillin by MIC or disk diffusion may actually possess a β-lactamase (BL) that may cause the patient to fail penicillin therapy

Staphylococcus spp. – Penicillin - 2012
CLSI Previous recommendation (2011):
– Perform induced nitrocefin BL test before reporting penicillin as “S” if:
zone diameter ≥29 mm
MIC ≤0.12 µg/ml
– PCR for the blaZ BL gene may be considered
Penicillin Breakpoints
MIC (µg/ml) Zone (mm)
S I R S I R
≤0.12 - ≥0.25 ≥29 - ≤28

Staphylococcus aureus (BL) - 2012
Induced nitrocefin BL test usually, but not always, detects staphylococcal BLs
Other BL tests are more sensitive for the detection of BL:
– Cloverleaf test
– Penicillin disk zone edge test
blaZ gene PCR not optimal for BL
– blaZ codes for BL production
– Several types of blaZ genes
all types may not be detected by a single PCR assay

– 2012 NEW RECOMMENDATION:
Added ‘penicillin disk zone edge test’ for BL
production in S. aureus
21
Staphylococcus spp. –
Penicillin 2012
![Page 22: CLSI AST Update Gram Positive Bacteria_1](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042506/55cf9683550346d0338bf476/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Staphylococcus spp. –
Penicillin Optional Strategy - 2012
Report penicillin if “R”
Suppress penicillin if “S” and consider a note: “Contact laboratory if penicillin results needed.”
– If penicillin “S” and penicillin results needed, perform:
Nitrocefin BL test , and if negative
– Penicillin zone edge test
» Beach = PEN S
» Cliff = PEN R

S. aureus
Isolates where penicillin zones are ≥29 mm or penicillin MICs are ≤0.12 µg/ml, perform a penicillin ‘disk zone edge test’ before reporting as penicillin susceptible.
NOTE:
– S.lugdunensis isolates where penicillin zones are ≥29 mm or penicillin MICs are ≤0.12 µg/ml, perform an induced nitrocefin assay or other CLSI reference method on isolates before reporting as penicillin susceptible.
– The penicillin disk zone edge test was shown to be inferior as compared to the induced nitrocefin assay and should not be used with S.lugdunensis.

-Streptococcus - 2012
Table 2H-1 Supplemental Table 1
(inducible clindamycin resistance)
– Included new comment regarding CDC recommendations:
“The 2010 CDC guidelines on prevention of group B streptococcal disease in neonates recommend that colonization isolates from pregnant women with severe penicillin allergy (high risk for anaphylaxis) should be tested for inducible clindamycin resistance.”
Use erythromycin & clindamycin for D zone testing, but do not report erythromcyin.
31
![Page 32: CLSI AST Update Gram Positive Bacteria_1](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042506/55cf9683550346d0338bf476/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
** If an isolate is resistant to erythromycin, it might have inducible resistance to clindamycin, even if it appears susceptible to clindamycin. If a GBS isolate is susceptible to clindamycin, resistant to erythromycin, and testing for inducible clindamycin resistance is negative, then clindamycin can be used for GBS intrapartum prophylaxis instead of vancomycin.
32
2010 CDC Guidelines
Check for inducible
clindamycin R if:
erythromycin-R
clindamycin-S
But only report
clindamycin!

Doripenem
Exerts its bactericidal activity by inhibiting bacterial cell wall biosynthesis.
Inactivates multiple essential penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) resulting in inhibition of cell wall synthesis with subsequent cell death.
47
![Page 48: CLSI AST Update Gram Positive Bacteria_1](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042506/55cf9683550346d0338bf476/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Doripenem
Bacterial resistance mechanisms that affect doripenem include:
– Inactivation by carbapenem-hydrolyzing enzymes
KPC, NDM-1, etc.
– Mutant or altered PBPs
– Decreased outer membrane permeability
– Active efflux
Doripenem is stable to hydrolysis by most BL, including penicillinases and cephalosporinases produced by GP &GN bacteria

Ceftaroline (Teflaro)
Ceftaroline is a cephalosporin with in vitro activity against GP and GN bacteria.
Bactericidal action is mediated through binding to essential penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs).
Bactericidal against S. aureus due to its affinity for PBP2a and against Streptococcus pneumoniae due to its affinity for PBP2x.
Ceftaroline is not active against Gram negative bacteria which produce ESBLs or carbapenemases.

Staphylococcus - 2013
All cephalosporins/many penicillins in the 2012 Table 2C were removed.
– Deleted all β-lactam breakpoints except penicillin, oxacillin [cefoxitin], and ceftaroline.
A statement is provided to indicate that results for cephalosporins and other -lactam antibiotics can be predicted from the results of penicillin, oxacillin MIC, cefoxitin MIC, or cefoxitin disk diffusion testing.

Staphylococcus - 2013
Rationale for deleting breakpoints for -lactams (except pencilllin, oxacillin [cefoxitin], & ceftaroline) from the CLSI M100 tables for staphylococci:
– Current breakpoints are most likely inaccurate
They were ‘Grandfathered’ into the staphylococcal tables with other major table over-hauls in the early 2000’s.
Can deduce all anti-staphylococcal -lactam results from penicillin and oxacillin [cefoxitin] results.

Staphylococcus - 2013
Detection of oxacillin resistance:
In most staphylococcal isolates, oxacillin resistance is mediated by mecA-encoding the penicillin-binding protein 2a (PBP 2a, also called PBP2‘).
Other mechanisms of oxacillin resistance are rare and include a novel mecA homologue (eg, mecC)REF which may not be detected by tests for mecA or PBP 2a.
Isolates that test positive for mecA or PBP 2a should be reported as oxacillin resistant.
If both cefoxitin and oxacillin are tested against S.aureus or S.lugdunensis, and either result is resistant, the organism should be reported as oxacillin resistant.

Added footnote to indicate that daptomycin should not be reported for isolates from the lower respiratory tract.
Removed quinupristin/dalfopristin from Table 1A as it is not FDA cleared for MRSA or CoNS; stating that for isolates of MSSA there are much better drugs to use for treatment with less toxicity. Changing Test/Report Group from ‘C’ to ‘O’ in Table 2C.
Removed amikacin, kanamcin, netilimicin and tobramycin from Table 1A. Only gentamicin will remain as ‘C’ in Table 2C (others changed to ‘O’).
– Added note to aminoglycoside-S isolates stating that they are to be used only in combination with other active agents.

NEW AST QC Guidance - 2013
Table 3C. Disk Diffusion: Reference Guide to QC Frequency
Conversion from Daily to Weekly QC
Routine QC is performed each day the test is performed unless an alternative quality control plan has been established.
CLSI document M02-A11 Section 15.7 describes a QC plan using a 20-30 day protocol that if successfully completed allows a user to convert from daily to weekly quality control.
– < 1/20 or < 3/30 weekly QC testing

NEW AST QC: 3x5 (15) Plan - 2013
An alternate QC plan using a two-phase, 15 replicate (3 X 5 day) plan is described in Table 3C as follows:
– 15 replicate (3 X 5 day) plan
Test three replicates using individual inocula preparations of the appropriate QC strains for 5 consecutive test days to perform 15 replicates (3 x 5 day) plan.
Each QC strain tested is evaluated separately according to the acceptance criteria and recommended action described below (e.g., pass / test another 3 replicates for 5 days / fail).
Upon successful completion of the QC plan the laboratory can convert from daily to weekly QC testing.
If unsuccessful investigate, take corrective action as appropriate and continue daily QC testing.

NEW AST QC: 3x5 (15) Plan - 2013
Statistician’s comments
– Out-of-control results could be due to either systemic or random errors
– Systemic errors = likely to get >2 outliers out of 15 results
– Random (allowable) errors = very high probability of getting 1 outlier of 15 results due to random error
Plan 1: 0-1 errors allowed:
– Deemed likely to pick up systematic errors (>2/15)
Plan 2: 0 errors allowed:
– Deemed likely to be problematic and unlikely to improve quality of results (no allowance for random errors @ <1/15)

QC Recommendations:
‘Routine’
– Test negative (susceptible) QC strain:
With each new lot/shipment of testing materials (eg, disks, or agar plates used for agar dilution, or single wells or tubes used with broth dilution methods).
Weekly if the screening test is performed at least once a week and criteria for converting from daily to weekly QC testing have been met (see Section 15.7.2.1 in M02 or Section 16.7.2.1 in M07).
Daily if the screening test is performed less than once per week and/or if criteria for converting from daily to weekly QC testing have not been met (see bullet above).
‘Lot/shipment’
– Test positive (resistant) QC strain at minimum of at least once with each new lot/shipment of testing materials.

Ceftazidime/avibactam - 2014
Avibactam is a synthetic β-lactamase (BL) inhibitor
– Addition of avibactam greatly improves the activity of ceftazidime (4-1024x MIC) against most of the Enterobacteriaceae.
– Avibactam also improves the activity of ceftazidime to P.aeruginosa (~4x MIC).
– Avibactam does not improve the activity of ceftazidime against Acinetobacter spp. or to most anaerobic bacteria (exceptions: B.fragilis, C.perfringens, Prevotella and Porphyromonas spp.).
– Data suggest that ceftazidime-avibactam is rapidly active against BL-producing GNRs that are not inhibited by ceftazidime alone.
– Ceftazidime-avibactam is as effective as carbapenems in complicated intra-abdominal infection and complicated urinary tract infection.

Ceftazidime/avibactam - 2014
– Avibactam serves to broaden the spectrum of ceftazidime against BL-producing GNRs.
– Potential future roles include the treatment of infections caused by GNR producing ESBLs, KPCs, and/or AmpC BL.
– It may be used in combination (with metronidazole) for suspected polymicrobial infections.

Decreasing daily QC testing - 2014
CLSI QC DD Working Group Project
Background – CLSI guidance recommends that prior to initiating testing with a new antibiotic, 20-30 day QC studies must be performed (and now we have the 3x5 testing as well).
The intent of this current project is to evaluate the necessity of performing a full 20 or 30 days of testing.
The goal is to assimilate a large amount of 20-30 day QC study data from different institutions with a variety of drug/bug combinations.
– Analyze the data to determine when, during the course of the 20-30 day study, QC failures occur.
– Hypothesize that the systemic problems with QC will reveal themselves early and that extended testing (ie., 20-30 days) is not necessary.

Decreasing daily QC testing - 2014
CLSI QC DD Working Group Project
Preliminary Data* – 63 total preliminary QC studies have been accumulated thus far from 2 institutions (with the majority of the data coming from a single institution).
– 5 of these studies were conducted for 30 days, 25 for 21 days, and 33 for 19 days.
– A total of 6 failures over 1,302 data points have been identified.
day 1 (n=3), day 2 (n=1), day 14 (n=1) and day 22 (n=1).

Decreasing daily QC testing - 2014
CLSI QC DD Working Group Project
– More data is required - but these findings suggest that it may be possible to reduce the number of days required for QC studies.

![Page 99: CLSI AST Update Gram Positive Bacteria_1](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042506/55cf9683550346d0338bf476/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
Currently = The M2/M7 text and flowchart clearly indicates that you must perform 5 consecutive days of repeat QC “if” you can not attribute the out-of-range result to a specific issue.
– If you can contribute it to a particular issue (e.g., contamination, used the wrong QC strain, etc.), you only have to do one repeat and if ‘in’, you may continue weekly QC testing.
However, the above does not address the 0-5% of out-of-range results which would be expected due to random error (as ranges are established based on > 95% agreement).
– One suggestion is to use retrospective data from the same lot of materials to satisfy the 5 replicate repeat. This would not be a "statistical" change, only a change in approach.
Also considering to allow for multiple replicates in one day (up to 3) to determine more quickly if there is a problem (as laboratories may still be testing patient specimens while troubleshooting).

Out-of-Range QC – 2014
![Page 100: CLSI AST Update Gram Positive Bacteria_1](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042506/55cf9683550346d0338bf476/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
Out-of-Range QC – 2014
Add a new section to 3C and 4F (QC frequency) - Troubleshooting out-of-range results:
If the cause can be identified –
– Correct the issue, document the reason, and retest the strain on the day the error is observed (or as soon as possible if need to subculture a new QC strain first).
– If the repeated result is within range, no further corrective action is required.
If the cause can not be identified -
– If the 4 previous QC results have been acceptable using the same lots of materials (e.g., agar plates, disks, MIC trays/plates/panels), these 4 results, along with the current repeat, may be used to retrospectively satisfy the requirement for 5 repeats.

Out-of-Range QC – 2014
If the cause can not be identified. Example :
– If the 4 previous QC results were acceptable and you now obtain an out-of-range result, repeat the QC as soon as possible and if this repeat is within range, the corrective action was successful and you can resume weekly testing.
If the repeat is out-of-range you must take additional corrective action.
Daily QC must be continued until the problem is resolved.
– If 4 previous QC results were not acceptable or not available (e.g., new lot recently put into use), test sufficient QC replicates to satisfy the requirement for a total of 5 results.
Up to 3 QC replicates can be tested / day if individual inocula are used.

Using retrospective QC to correct a random error if no error is readily apparent:
If you have an out of range QC result upon weekly QC testing, you will be able to
repeat the QC once if in range and if the last 4 times you previously tested were also
in range you can go back to weekly QC testing. You must have used the same lot of
all materials for all test results (example below).
Example 1 - E.coli ATCC 25922 ampicillin: range 2-8 ug/ml
![Page 103: CLSI AST Update Gram Positive Bacteria_1](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042506/55cf9683550346d0338bf476/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)

ATCC 25922 and ampicillin with lot 4567. Repeat QC for
2 more consecutive days.

3 4 4567 8 In range. 5/6 acceptable in range QC tests for E.coli
ATCC 25922 and ampicillin with lot 4567. Resume

103
You may also repeat the QC testing prospectively to do as many as you need to
get the 1/6 to be in range using same lots # of all testing materials (e.g.; 2
retrospective and 3 prospective). If all within range, you and can go back to weekly
QC. You must use the same lot of all materials (example below).
Example 2 - E.coli ATCC 25922 ampicillin: range 2-8 ug/ml
![Page 104: CLSI AST Update Gram Positive Bacteria_1](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042506/55cf9683550346d0338bf476/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)

Using retrospective data to go to weekly testing:
– If you have been performing QC testing of a drug each time you test patient organisms, you will be able to use those contemporary (within the last year) retrospective results in order to collect data that can be used for going to weekly QC testing.
– For example, if you have QC tested a drug approximately 2x/month for the last year, you can use the most recent 20 QC tests to document your ability to go to weekly QC testing for the drug.

“S-DD”
Enterobacteriaceae and cefepime
ISSUE: When the cephalosporin breakpoints to the Enterobacteriaceae were change (lowered) in 2010, cefepime was also reviewed but the committee at that time left the breakpoint unchanged at < 8 / 16 / > 32 ug/ml.
RESULT: The committee after MUCH discussion voted to change cefepime
breakpoints for the Enterobacteriaceae from current to the below:
S < 2 ug/ml
SDD 4-8 ug/ml (SDD = susceptible, dose-dependent*)
R > 16 ug/ml

“S-DD”
Enterobacteriaceae and cefepime
This new breakpoints will be published in the 2014 guidelines (I think). The committee will also attempt to get disk diffusion changes done before end of year so these new zone sizes can also be published in 2014 as well.
*A ‘SDD’ indicates that approved, higher therapeutic levels of this drug can be used to treat serious infections with organisms having an MIC in this range.
– A definition of SDD will be included in the 2014 M100 document; it will read something like: “SDD indicates that this drug may be used in high doses to achieve the maximum achievable drug doses”.
– They will also add drug dosages for SDD. For example:
“The SDD breakpoint was derived based on a dosage regimens of 1 g Q 8 hr or 2 g Q 12 hr for organisms with a MIC of 4 ug/ml, and 2 g Q 8 hr for those with a MIC of 8 ug/ml.”
