20 Impact of the Addition of Peptide Nucleic Acid Fluorescence in Situ Hybridization (PNA FISH) to Fluconazole Susceptibility Testing on the Time to Appropriate and Optimal Antifungal (AF) Therapy for Candida Blood Stream Infections (BSIs). IDSA 2010 Peggy L. Carver, PharmD, Melissa A. Carroll, PharmD; Carol Young, MT; Peggy Mahlmeister, MLT, University of Michigan Health System, Ann Arbor, MI Time (days) Sendout FLU/No FISH FLU Suscept/No FISH FLU Suscept/PNA FISH Appropriate AF therapy 2.5 ± ± ± 1.6 Optimal AF therapy 2.7 ± ± ± BC alert to MD 2.4 ± ± ± 1.3 PNA FISH results ND ND 3.3 ± 1.8 Candida speciation 4.6 ± ± ± 2.2 FLU susceptibility results 17.6 ± 15.1** 6.8 ± ± 2.7 Why did PNA FISH fail to decrease time to appropriate or optimal antifungal therapy:? Many patients died before PNA FISH testing could be performed. In some cases, clinicians appear to have ignored PNA FISH test results; they appeared to wait for the results of fluconazole susceptibility testing. Conclusions: Despite an time to fluconazole susceptibility test results, the addition of FLU susceptibility testing, alone or + PNA FISH testing, did NOT significantly appropriate AF therapy or optimal AF therapy for Candida BSIs overall.

23 Cepheid Xpert MRSA/SA Blood Culture Assay Intended use: Performed on the GeneXpert Instrument Systems Qualitative in vitro diagnostic test Detection of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) DNA directly from positive blood cultures. The assay utilizes automated real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the amplification of MRSA/SA specific DNA targets and fluorogenic target-specific hybridization probes for the real-time detection of the amplified DNA. The assay is performed directly on positive blood culture specimens from that are determined by Gram Stain as Gram-Positive Cocci in Clusters (GPCC) or as Gram-Positive Cocci in singles (GPC). BD BACTEC Plus Aerobic/F BacT/ALERT SA (Standard Aerobic) VersaTREK REDOX 1R (aerobic) Subculturing of positive blood cultures is necessary to recover organisms for susceptibility testing or for epidemiological typing. The Cepheid Xpert MRSA/SA Blood Culture Assay is not intended to monitor treatment for MRSA/SA infections.

46 Summary AST: Treatment of culture proven invasive infections. (CDC) Bloodstream infections present good opportunities for interventions to improve antibiotic use because they are easily identified from microbiology results. The culture and susceptibility testing often provides information needed to tailor antibiotics or discontinue them due to growth of contaminants. We have a lot to learn about these new systems and opportunities to partner with our Antibiotic Stewardship Team to decrease the time to actionable result to improve patient care with targeted therapy. Challenge ourselves while being aware of the limitations of the various systems as we make these investments in finding the best fit for our laboratories.
