1 Surveillance of AMR in PHE: a multidisciplinary, integrated approach Professor Neil Woodford Antimicrobial Resistance & Healthcare Associated Infections (AMRHAI) Reference Unit Crown copyright

2 International Consensus: AMR is a Critical Public Health Threat 2 UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright

3 UK 5-year AMR Strategy : Seven key areas for action DH High Level Steering Group PHE Human health Defra Animal health DH 1. Optimising prescribing practice 2. Improving infection prevention and control 3. Improving professional education, training and public engagement 4. Better access to and use of surveillance data Improving the evidence base through research Developing new drugs, vaccines and other diagnostics and treatments Strengthening UK and international collaboration 3 UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright

4 HCAI & AMR surveillance 4 UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright

5 Sources of data on AMR Hospital laboratories routinely identify bacteria and test antimicrobial susceptibility Data stored in LIMS GPs do not routinely sample patients microbiologically (except for treatment failures) Testing for resistance in fungi and viruses is not yet routine 5 UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright

6 Surveillance of AMR in England and Wales Since 1974, hospitals in England & Wales have voluntarily reported infections to the PHLS / HPA / PHE Data stored in national database (now SGSS) Since 1989, laboratories have also voluntarily reported results of susceptibility testing Originally paper reports, but now electronic Huge quantity, but limited control of quality Cross-validate with other national schemes (e.g. BSAC) 6 UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright

7 The SGSS Report Menu 7 UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright

8 Making Use of AMR Data Guide empirical prescribing Determine burden of disease Determine resources required Strategic planning Measure impact of interventions Scope Local Regional National International Focus Organism Disease Patient groups 8 UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright

9 Mandatory Reporting of MRSA bacteraemia From April 2001, it was mandatory for all acute NHS trusts in England to report: All cases of bacteraemia caused by S. aureus The proportion of cases due to MRSA No of MRSA/1000 bed days Data made publically available 9 UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright

10 Driving down MRSA bacteraemias DH Press Release 05/11/04: Hospital superbug must be halved Bloodstream infections with the hospital superbug MRSA must be halved in three years, the government has said. Health Secretary John Reid tasked NHS hospitals with achieving a year on year reduction up to and beyond March UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright

11 Rising numbers of E. coli bacteraemias Number of bacteraemia reports 30,000 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 5,000 - Escherichia coli Staphylococcus aureus UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright

12 Key antibiotic resistance messages Reduction, through effective IPC, in proportion of Staphylococcus aureus BSI that caused by MRSA from 12% to 8% over the last 5 years 23% reduction in Streptococcus pneumoniae BSI related to pneumococcal vaccination over last 5 years The rate of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae bloodstream infections (BSI) increased by 13.5% and 17.2% respectively from 2010 to More individuals have antibiotic-resistant BSI with Gram-negative bacteria 12 UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright

13 Carbapenem non-susceptibility, EARS-Net 2013 E. coli K. pneumoniae data risk giving a false sense of security to non-experts only 9% of UK carbapenemase producers are from blood cultures 13 UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright

14 Enhancing surveillance with reference microbiology Pathogen % carbapenem resistance E. coli K. pneumoniae Reference laboratory provides specialist microbiology that seeks to explain trends Is at the centre of a national / regional laboratory network Benefits from a spider s web effect Monitors new and emerging AMR issues, long before they register in surveillance programmes 14 UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright Data, courtesy Prof Alan Johnson

15 PHE s national reference laboratory The AMRHAI Reference Unit Susceptibility testing for confirmation of exceptional resistances Infer resistance mechanisms from antibiograms Investigation of priority resistance mechanisms Strain typing to aid outbreak investigation Treatment advice; infection prevention & control advice + Research (externally-funded) + Evaluations of new drugs and diagnostics (externally-funded) 15 UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright

16 Focus on alert resistances: CPOs in the UK 16 UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright AMRHAI, Unpublished data

17 CPE in the UK, Imported & home grown Early cases often imported Klebsiella spp. 79%; E. coli 12%, Enterobacter spp., 7%; others 2% 17 UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright AMRHAI, Unpublished data

18 CPE are multi-resistant, UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright Health Protection Report Vol 9 No January 2015

19 Monitoring antibiotic usage in England (ESPAUR) Established by PHE in 2013 in response to the strategy Terms of reference updated in 2015, at year 2 review Focuses on bringing together NHS, PHE, Private sector across all prescribers and clinicians to improve Surveillance data on antibiotic resistance and prescribing Antimicrobial stewardship activities Education and training for healthcare professionals Education and awareness to public 19 UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright

20 Carbapenem usage is increasing use of carbapenems new selective pressures, with consequences Carbapenems = 0.3% of total antibiotic consumption in 2013 BUT use increased by 31.3% in England between 2010 and 2013 Mostly in the hospital sector, <1% in primary care. MEM = c. 90% of carbapenem use 20 UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright

21 ESPAUR: Key Progress towards objectives PHE: better surveillance data for non-bacteraemia isolates Enhancement of community antibiotic datasets: dentists, out-of-hours and other providers Work on Quality Premium Measurement of impact of behavioural interventions published by behavioural insights team Antibiotic stewardship curriculum (for healthcare professionals) implementation recommendations delivered to HEE Updated Antimicrobial stewardship toolkits (SSTF and TARGET) Partnerships external to PHE: universities (HPRU), Vets (VMD), ECDC, WHO, O Neill, Longitude Prize 21 UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright

22 Summary Antibiotic Use Total antibiotic prescribing, measured using defined daily doses, a standardised measure of antibiotic consumption: continues to increase in the NHS with a slower rate of increase from 2013 to 2014 than in previous years. Antibiotic prescriptions in primary care, measured as the number of prescriptions dispensed, adjusted for the age and sex distributions in the population: has declined for the last two years is now lower than the similar measure in 2011 (1.180 in 2014 compared to in 2011), suggests higher doses or longer course lengths in GP prescriptions. 22 UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright

23 Summary Antibiotic Use The majority of antibiotic prescribing occurs in primary care but secondary care prescribes more broad-spectrum antibiotics These antibiotics are effective against a wide range of bacteria, but are more likely to drive antibiotic resistance than narrowspectrum antibiotics. Early evidence suggests that informing prescribers of their prescribing patterns and comparing them to their peer professionals may be a factor that helps reduce their antibiotic prescribing. Continued focus by every individual who prescribes, administers and dispenses antibiotics is essential to continue to reduce antibiotic consumption. 23 UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright

24 Limiting the impact of AMR through IPC RAPID diagnostics are essential for identifying colonized and infected patients: 1. rapid implementation of infection control procedures 2. Prevent onwards transmission 3. appropriate patient management Who are the high risk patients; overseas imports vs. within country inter-hospital transfers? 24 UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright

25 Gaps in surveillance Reference laboratory characterises increasing numbers of carbapenemase producers, but epidemiological data missing: Foreign travel Previous hospital admissions Potential contact with other cases infected/colonised with carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative bacteria Antibiotic prescribing Outcomes e.g. mortality 25 UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright

26 Electronic Reporting System (ERS) Web-based reporting system Electronic data capture of surveillance data and microbiology results Manuals available online (see link) Serves two main functions: Labs can request full characterisation of Gram-negative bacteria where expression of acquired carbapenemase suspected NHS Trusts can submit enhanced surveillance data 26 UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright Involves prospective and retrospective data submission

27 Electronic Reporting System (ERS) Core dataset Prospective data submission Required when isolate referred Performed by local microbiology laboratory Patient demographic data Laboratory details Patient location at time of specimen collection Enhanced dataset Retrospective data submission Within 7 days of positive result Performed by local laboratory and/or trust IPCT Travel history (including healthcare abroad) For admitted patients: Admission details Screening results Potential contact with CPOs 27 UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright

28 Referral of isolates and data submission Confirmatory testing performed at regional laboratory Suspected carbapenemase producer detected at local microbiology laboratory Isolate referred by microbiologist for confirmatory testing Test results made available Microbiologist releases positive record to infection control practitioner Core (prospective) data submitted by microbiologist Confirmatory testing performed at national laboratory Enhanced (retrospective) data submitted by microbiologist or infection control practitioner Data captured by Electronic Reporting System Data collated and analysed results fed back to stakeholders 28 UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright

29 Reporting from the ERS Regular national reports will be prepared by AMRHAI and the HCAI & AMR Department Act as official reports for PHE Monthly reports Numbers of Enterobacteriaceae/non-Enterobacteriaceae by resistance mechanism Quarterly reports Include trend analysis Annual report Detailed analysis for peer review publication Include risk factor analysis Completeness of enhanced surveillance data 29 UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright

30 Working with academia Health Protection Research Units in HCAI and AMR Imperial College and PHE (Alison Holmes and Alan Johnson) University of Oxford and PHE (Derrick Crook and Neil Woodford) National research units involving a network of relevant, world class expertise that can comprehensively address the challenges of AMR and HCAI, with the resilience and capacity to respond to emerging issues and public health priorities Creating integrated programmes of research to develop new, cost-effective approaches for detection, surveillance, investigation and reduction of HCAI and AMR in the NHS 30 UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright

31 Towards WGS for reference services Define lineage & surveillance Predict resistance Biomarkers ID + Outbreak investigations Phase 2 WGS Assess virulence 31 UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright

32 Mining WGS data a new era for AMR surveillance Increasing numbers of labs using WGS Can rapidly mine existing data for to establish national occurrence of new resistance genes Analysis can be confirmed if data are public domain Straight to WGS for settings with poor AMR surveillance? Petersen et al. Nature Sci Reports 2015; 5, UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright

33 Feed into the UK s integrated surveillance of AMR risks Colonized residents or visitors Non-human reservoirs: foodstuffs (domestic or imported) Non-human reservoirs: animals and environment Hospital treatment or travel overseas Inter-hospital transfers (UK) Victims from conflict zones Multiple risks to be assessed to minimize damage We need better intelligence 33 UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright

34 Summary PHE has an AMR surveillance system that captures data nationally SGSS extends data beyond bacteraemias can combine with patient-level data for e.g. outcomes analysis PHE can link resistance rates and prescribing at local level (community and hospital) Can seek to change behaviours of top prescribers The national reference laboratory monitors nationally-rare alert resistances Can be targeted in enhanced surveillance programmes Working to link better human-animal data to extend One Health analysis 34 UK-Russia (Smolensk), 17th December 2015 Crown Copyright
