BSAC User Group Meeting 2007 Organism Identification Essential for interpretation of susceptibility Chromogenic media
18
BSAC User Group Meeting 2007 Chromogenic agar (6570 UTI) Klebsiella-Enterobacter-Serratia 28.6% Proteus-Morganella-Providencia 6.9% 72.5% Data presented by Trevor Winstanley at User Group meetings in 2005 (Power Point presentation available on the BSAC web site (www.bsac.org.uk)
19
BSAC User Group Meeting 2007 Footnotes to the UTI tables
20
BSAC User Group Meeting 2007 BSAC recommendations The recommendations are for organisms associated with uncomplicated urinary tract infections For complicated infections systemic recommendations should be used For infections caused by S. aureus and S. epidermidis, which are associated with more serious infections, systemic recommendations should be used
21
BSAC User Group Meeting 2007 BSAC recommendations If an organism is isolated from multiple sites, for example from blood and urine, interpretation of susceptibility should be made with regard to the systemic site. Direct susceptibility tests on urine may be performed as long as the inoculum gives semi-confluent growth.
22
BSAC User Group Meeting 2007 BSAC recommendations In the absence of definitive organism identification, use the recommendations most appropriate for the presumptive identification, accepting that on some occasions the interpretation may be incorrect. A more cautious approach is to use systemic recommendations
23
BSAC User Group Meeting 2007 BSAC recommendations The identification of Enterobacteriaceae to species level is essential before applying expert rule for the interpretation of susceptibility e.g. recommendations for ampicillin/amoxicillin are for E. coli and P. mirabilis not for species that have chromosomal penicillinase (Klebsiella spp.) or those that typically have inducible AmpC enzymes (e.g. Enterobacter spp., Citrobacter spp. and Serratia spp.)
24
BSAC User Group Meeting 2007 Under review by EUCAST/BSAC Use of trimethoprim for the treatment of enterococci The clinical efficacy of mecillinam in the treatment of ESBL infections
25
BSAC User Group Meeting 2007 Gaps in the “Coliform” recommendations “Coliform” means like an E. coli, the recommendations should not be used for Enterobacter spp. etc. ID to species level is essential for the correct interpretation
26
BSAC User Group Meeting 2007 Should nalidixic acid be used to detect FQ resistance? Using nalidixic acid alone 25-40% of isolates with LLR will be reported resistant to ciprofloxacin Organisms with LLR are probably susceptible in uncomplicated infections because of the high concentration of drug in urine
27
BSAC User Group Meeting 2007 Summary BSAC urinary breakpoints are for simple UTIs For complicated infections systemic recommendations should be used ID is necessary for the interpretation of susceptibility and the application of expert rules (see the Power Point presentation on the BSAC web site for the User Group Meeting in 2005 Trevor Winstanley “Expert rules and inexpensive identification methods”) EUCAST are preparing a document on expert rules that should be available at the end of the year
