Antibiotic Resistance Threats in the United States (2013). [Accessed on 4/1/2016]. Unpublished Arkansas Event Reports from CDC s National Healthcare Safety Network.

9 CRE Background Carbapenems Beta lactam class of antibiotics Available for clinical use in the mid-1980s Used as a last drug of resort for multidrug-resistant infections Enterobacteriaceae Large family of gram-negative bacteria Pathogens include: E coli, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Salmonella, Shigella, Proteus, Serratia, Citrobacter, etc. Capable of sharing genetic material through plasmids

10 Enhanced capacity for resistance State Public Health Lab has capacity to confirm and/or identify: Species identification Carbapenemase production Carbapenemase genetic mechanism Results are reported back to submitting facility within 2 business days of findings HAI Program is coordinating submission of isolates through online form and tracking results to investigate and implement thorough infection control recommendations

11 11 Testing in 50 States and Six Large Jurisdictions Suspected CRE/CRPA isolates are forwarded to State PHLs Isolates with suspected novel resistance * REGIONAL PHL Testing at the State/Jurisdictional PHL may include: Species confirmation Antimicrobial susceptibility testing confirmation Phenotypic screening for carbapenemase production Molecular detection of mechanism * Positive for carbapenemase production by phenotypic methods and negative by PCR; Alert sent to state HAI coordinator and CDC within 1 day

12 AR Lab Network Regional Labs and TB Center 12

13 Multi-Drug Resistance Isolate Pre-Submission Form Developed to streamline the process of obtaining necessary information regarding isolates that require approval to be sent to the ADH laboratory. Reduces lag time for isolate submission approval Aids in finding appropriate healthcare facility/personnel to contact Collects information and allows document upload related to: Patient and facility demographics Medical history Initial laboratory results Including susceptibility results Found at:

16 New* reportable conditions Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae Any Enterobacteriaceae species that is found to be resistant to at least one carbapenem antibiotic from any source (not screening cultures) Ideally, please include a copy of the susceptibility report Candida auris Any report of Candida auris or Candida haemulonii from any source Submit isolate to state public health laboratory *Pending approval and finalization

17 Summary of Arkansas Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) and Standardized Infection Ratios (SIR) for 2017 HAI Metric Number of observed infections Interpretation as compared to national baseline Number of Infections needed to be prevented to meet national goals* Percentage Difference from 2016 Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) Surgical Site Infections (SSI) after colon surgeries % % % 98 11% 97 10% 31 30% Surgical Site Infections (SSI) after abdominal hysterectomies 17 41% Surpassed Prevention Goal 1% Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bloodstream infections 94 16% 53 5% Clostridium difficile infections (CDI) % 78 1% These data were collected and analyzed using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention s National Healthcare Safety Network. *National prevention goals have been set by the US Department of Health and Human Services in the 2020 National Action Plan to Prevent Health Care-Associated Infections: Road Map to Elimination. These goals represent a decrease beyond the national baseline (SIR =1.0). The SIR goals are 0.5 for CLABSI, 0.75 for CAUTI and both SSI, 0.50 for MRSA bloodstream infections, and 0.70 for CDI.

20 Four Core Actions to Prevent Resistance Preventing infections Tracking Improving antimicrobial prescribing/stewardship Developing new drugs and diagnostic tests CDC. Antibiotic Resistance Threats in the United States (2013). [Accessed on 4/1/2016].

21 Arkansas Activities Preventing infections Conducting Infection Control Assessment and Readiness (ICAR) visits ~90 on-site visits to healthcare facilities in 2 years Promoting vaccinations Targeting outreach to facilities with higher numbers of healthcareassociated infections Tracking Implementing standard surveillance for antibiotic resistant pathogens, especially for the urgent category Identifying important resistant mechanisms at the state public health laboratory Improving antimicrobial prescribing/stewardship Providing education to prescribers Analyzing antimicrobial prescribing patterns across the state by working with key partners

23 CDC s Tiered Strategies for Containment CDC has issued guidance for highly drug resistant organisms that defines three different categories (Tiers 1-3) and the recommended approach to control each. General definitions of each Tier are included in the next slide. Classification of an organisms tier is dependent on the regional and state epidemiology for that resistance mechanism. CDC. Interim Guidance for a Public Health Response to Contain Novel or Targeted Multidrug-resistant Organisms (MDROs). Available at: Accessed on 08/31/2018.

24 Tiered Containment Response Tier 1: Resistance mechanisms novel to the United States (i.e., never previously or only very rarely identified in the United States). Organisms for which no current treatment options exist (pan-resistant) and that have the potential to spread more widely within a region. Tier 2: Organisms found in healthcare settings but not believed to be found regularly in the region. Includes organisms that might have been found more commonly in other areas in the United States. For Arkansas, this includes resistance mechanisms for carbapenemresistant Enterobacteriaceae that are not found to be the Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) type. Tier 3: Organisms that are already established in the United States and have been identified before in the region but are not thought to be endemic.

37 Statewide Antimicrobial Stewardship Initiative (SASI) - Structured after Infection Control Assessment and Response (ICAR) visits - Created 7 page tool for facilities to complete - Schedule onsite visit to meet with a facility s Antimicrobial Stewardship Program - After the visit, each facility receives an updated SASI tool, and formal visit summary letter, and a list of antimicrobial stewardship recourses

38 SASI Visits to Date - 18 Hospitals since Dec Critical Access Hospitals - 13 General Acute Care Hospitals Goal of 32 hospitals

39 Going forward Establishing a surveillance and response program to provide data back to stakeholders on antibiotic prescribing and resistance Using data to target outlier facilities to drive prevention progress Exploring novel data sources to evaluate antibiotic resistance in the state Identifying new partners to collaborate and share experiences
