2 Abstract We evaluated the performance of the biplate ChromID MRSA/ ChromID S.aureus for the simultaneous detection of Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA in preoperative screening samples. The sensitivity and specificity were 94.2% and 93.6%, respectively for the S. aureus compartment and 92.9% and 99.7% for the MRSA compartment after 48 hours incubation
3 Staphylococcus aureus is a common cause of healthcare-associated infections (1-3). They are a major health concern because human carriers can spread S. aureus (3, 4). Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) forms another important concern because it causes infections with higher mortality than infections caused by methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (5) Screening on hospital admission for surgical procedures and decolonization of nasal carriers of S. aureus have been shown to reduce the number of S. aureus surgical site infections (6). Given the potentially large number of individuals requiring screening within a pre-surgical population, rapid and cost-effective surveillance methods are needed (7). Cultures using selective chromogenic agar media are currently standard procedures routinely used by many clinical laboratories (8). Ideally, selective media should achieve isolation of S. aureus and detect MRSA in one step (9, 10). Recently, the biplate ChromID MRSA/ ChromID S.aureus medium (BioMérieux, Marcy-l'Étoile, France) for the simultaneous detection of MRSA and S.aureus has been introduced. It is reasonable to assume that such a biplate can reduce workload and thus cost. We evaluated the performance of this biplate in preoperative screening samples The study was performed between March and June 2013 at University Hospitals Leuven, a 1,800 bed tertiary care hospital after approval from the ethical committee. The background prevalence of S. aureus and MRSA in a Belgian outpatient population is estimated at 19.4% and 2.1%, respectively (11). Hospital nurses took 1,200 swabs (ESwab, Copan, Brescia, Italy) from the anterior nares of consecutive patients attending preoperative consultations for all types of surgery. In the laboratory, the swabs were inoculated on homemade mannitol salt agar (MSA) and then on the ChromID S.aureus and ChromID MRSA compartments of the biplate in a random sequence. All agar plates were examined between 16 and 24 hours (referred to as 24 hours) and between 42 and 48 hours (referred to as 48 hours) after incubation in ambient air at 37 C according the manufacturer s recommendations Suspect colonies were identified by characteristic growth morphology and color: yellow on MSA agar, green or blue-green on ChromID S.aureus, and green on ChromID MRSA. These colonies were identified with matrixassisted laser desorption Biotyper MS (MALDI-TOF, Bruker Daltonics, Germany). MRSA isolates were confirmed with i) Alere PBP2a culture colony test (Alere Health, Gent, Belgium) in accordance with the
4 manufacturer s instructions and with ii) resistance testing to oxacillin by the cefoxitin disk (30 µg) (Rosco Neo- Sensitabs TM, Taastrup, Denmark) method according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute recommendation (M100-S23, 2013). All these additional identification tests were performed within 2 hours after plate reading. The result of the disk diffusion test was read after overnight incubation of Muller-Hinton agar (homemade) at 37 C From the 1,200 surveillance specimens, 311 (25.9%) S.aureus isolates were recovered; 14 (1.2%) were MRSA. The performance of the ChromID S.aureus and ChromID MRSA compartments of the biplate was evaluated against gold standards. For S. aureus, the gold standard was defined as MALDI-TOF identified S. aureus from the MSA and/or ChromID S. aureus compartiment after 48 hours incubation. For MRSA, the gold standard was defined as the MALDI-TOF identification of S. aureus on MSA and/or ChromID MRSA compartment with a positive PBP2a culture colony test and oxacillin resistance after 48 hours of incubation. The raw data and the performance characteristics of both compartments of the biplate are presented in Table 1 and Table 2, respectively On the ChromID S. aureus compartment, 57 isolates were falsely identified as S. aureus at 48 hours. They were confirmed by MALDI-TOF as coagulase-negative staphylococci (n=30), Micrococcus luteus (n=20), Rothia mucilaginosa (n=4), Streptococcus equinus (n=1), Bacillus spp.(n=1) and Listeria spp. (n=1). Three false positive results were revealed with MALDI-TOF on the ChromID MRSA compartment at 48 hours : Bacillus spp.(n=2) and Enteroccocus faecalis (n=1) Our study showed very good sensitivity and specificity of the biplate in detecting S.aureus and MRSA at 48 hours. At 24 hours, the performance of the biplate was rather low (66.2% for S. aureus and 57.1% for MRSA) and lower than the findings from several other studies. For example, Cherkaoui et al showed a sensitivity of 76% in detecting MRSA using chromogenic agar from the same manufacturer (12). In detecting S.aureus, Perry et al showed a sensitivity of 97% after 22 hours of incubation. There are three possible explanations for the differences in results between our and their findings. First, the specimens in our study originated from the anterior nares where the bacterial load is presumably lower than in wound swabs used in the study of Perry et al (13). Second, reading the plates earlier than 22 hours after incubation might be too early to reveal growth. Morris et al showed that the sensitivity of MRSA chromogenic agar after incubation of 16 to 23 hours (48.6%) was
5 substantially lower than the sensitivity after incubation of 22 to 24 hours (71.3%) (14). Third, we performed our study as in routine practice, without putting the swab back in the ESwab tube after streaking the first agar, and without using enrichment broth. The sensitivity of chromogenic agar in detecting MRSA is lower in case no enrichment broth is used (15). Since there was a considerable number of false positives at 48 hours (6%) on the ChromID S. aureus compartment, we advise the use of MALDI-TOF as test of confirmation on green colonies grown at 48 hours. The specificity of the MRSA compartment of the biplate ( %) is high and in line with earlier data (13-17) Workload and cost of this ChromID S. aureus/mrsa biplate should be discussed in case a laboratory considers the implementation of this medium. The time needed to inoculate two separate agar plates is longer than to inoculate one biplate (either manually or automatically). Compared to agars such as MSA, where all colonies should be identified, workload is reduced even more. On top of this, introduction of MALDI-TOF makes confirmation of suspect colonies on chromogenic agars easy and fast. However, this biplate will not reduce the time to achieve the definitive results since the maximum sensitivity of the biplate is reached after 48 hours. Therefore, fast PCR techniques exist that give you a result within 1-2 hours but have the disadvantage of being expensive Conflict of interests BioMérieux (Marcy-l'Étoile, France) provided the biplates used in this study at reduced price. However, the publication of the results of this study did not contingent on the approval of the sponsor Table legends Table 1.A Results of the Chrom ID S.aureus compartment of the bi-plate (N=1200 Eswabs).
