Introduction Microbiologists and physicians were asked in a recent survey to name the most significant changes in microbiology in the last 10 years. The most common answers were: Evolution and global spread of multidrug-resistant bacteria, mycobacteria, and fungi Rapid adoption of molecular tests in infectious disease diagnostics Use of MALDI mass spectrometry for identification of bacteria, mycobacteria, yeasts, and molds Introduction of whole lab automation in clinical microbiology Rapid development of the field of the human microbiome For the purposes of this discussion, we will not address the topic of the human microbiome although it is likely to impact future diagnostics and therapeutics. 2
Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Deaths attributable to AMR every year Compared to other major causes of death Deaths due to AMR will be disproportionately weighted towards Developing countries due to healthcare infrastructure and resource availability Global deaths due to AMR are projected to rise from 700,000 to 10,000,000 per year by 2050 if immediate action is not taken 3
Antimicrobial Resistance In 2013, the CDC published a list of 18 drug-resistant threats in the US. Urgent threat Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) Serious threat Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDR) Multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDR) ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL) Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) In February 2017 WHO announced a list of 12 antibiotic-resistant priority pathogens : Critical threats Acinetobacter baumannii: carbapenem-resistant (CRAB) Pseudomonas aeruginosa: carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae: carbapenem-resistant, ESBL 4

MALDI: Workflow Impact MALDI is less expensive - replaces all identification tests with decreased consumable supplies, QC tests, repeat testing and supplemental tests MALDI is more accurate - analytical sensitivity equivalent to sequencing 100s of genes so accuracy nearly 100% MALDI improves workflow - anaerobes identified as easily as aerobic bacteria with no special procedures such as subcultures, spot biochemical tests, chromatography MALDI is rapid - definitive identification of yeasts, molds and mycobacteria the same day growth is detected MALDI offers clinical value - blood culture isolates identified within 1 hour of detection 12

Total Lab Automation 17
The Future is Defined by Innovative Thinking Why would you want to automate historical inefficiencies? Think of lab automation as not automating what we do today but allowing us to do things we cannot do today!! Lab automation requires a cultural change for the benefits to be realized. Think Differently! 18
Optimized Image Acquisition Poor SNR Optimized SNR 19
Microbiology Laboratory A change is needed if microbiology is going to be clinically relevant for patient care: we need to be patient focused!! 20
