1 Antimicrobial Stewardship Certificate Program Antimicrobial Stewardship and Microbiology: Focus on Rapid Diagnostic Tests Karri A. Bauer, PharmD, BCPS (AQ-ID) Specialty Practice Pharmacist Infectious Diseases The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center 1 Objectives Discuss the various rapid diagnostic technologies Evaluate the use of rapid diagnostic technologies on patient outcomes Determine considerations during the preimplementation, implementation, and postimplementation phases of rapid diagnostic technologies 2 1

2 Patient Case 62 year old male presented to the ED with cc of night sweats HPI: 3 day history of generalized fatigue, fevers and night sweats and nausea PMH: HTN, HLD, DM2 Physician Exam: Vitals: Temp F, HR 110, BP 120/70, RR 20, 98% on RA Blood cultures obtained prior to initiation of vancomycin + piperacillin/tazobactam 3 General Principles Basic Microbiology Direct examination Culture/Gram stain Rapid biochemical tests Antibody and antigen detection Average time to deliver antimicrobial susceptibility testing results to a physician is 40 hours Numerous studies have demonstrated the impact of inappropriate antimicrobial therapy on mortality Kerremans JJ, Verboom P, Stijnen T, et al. Rapid identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing reduce antibiotic use and accelerate pathogen-directed antibiotic use. J. Antimicrob Chemother 2008;61:

3 Dilemma with Conventional Methods Day 0 Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Positive Blood Culture Conventional Species ID Blood Draw Gram Stain Conventional Dx Empiric Rx Broad-spectrum Rx Targeted Rx Gram stain provides limited information. Cannot tell the species Culture is too slow Clinicians can t wait an additional 1-3 days to treat the infection Leads to inappropriate and ineffective therapy for some patients and unnecessarily therapy for others Introduction New advances in RDTs provide collaborative opportunities for antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) Enhance functions of clinical microbiology laboratories Provide accurate organism identification Timely antimicrobial susceptibility testing data RDTs benefit the individual patient but also p increase the effectiveness of ASPs 3

4 Conventional/New Timeline Day 0 Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Positive Blood Culture Conventional Species ID Blood Draw Gram Stain Conventional Dx Empiric Rx Broad-spectrum Rx Targeted Rx Blood Draw Empiric Rx Positive Blood Culture Gram Stain Species ID Targeted Rx Rapid and accurate results on day 1 Supports decisions for appropriate and targeted therapy 1-3 days earlier than conventional methods Rapid Diagnostic Technologies 4
