The Simplest Approach The Not Quite As Simple But Now The Closest Thing We Have to Universally Accepted Approach Resistant to > 1 drug Non-susceptible to >2 classes of drugs XDR and PDR Non-susceptible to at least 1 drug in all but two or fewer classes Non-susceptible to all agents in all classes What is a “class” of drugs? Beta-lactams What is a “class” of drugs? Penicillins Cephalosporins Monobactams Carbapenems What is a “class” of drugs? Aminopenicillins 1st gen. Cephalosporins Ureidopenicillins 2nd gen. Cephalosporins Carboxypenicillins 3rd gen. Cephalosporins ß-lactamase resistant penicillins 4th gen. Cephalosporins 5th gen. Cephalosporins ß-lactamase inhibitor combinations Cefamycins Monobactams Carbapenems What is resistance to a class? Gentamicin Tobramycin Amikacin Resistant to this class? Bug A R R R Bug B R R S Bug C R S S Bug D I S S What about intrinsic resistances? • Should intrinsic resistance count toward number of classes showing resistance? • Typically chromosomally encoded; those genetic determinants are not easily passed on to other bacteria • But still can be bad boys – bad infections, bugs can be transmitted to others, hard to treat If we include intrinsic resistances in our definition, then every single Acinetobacter baumannii, Burkholderia cepacia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia we isolate would be considered MDRO. If we include intrinsic resistances in our definition, then every single Morganella, Proteus, Providencia, and Serratia marcescens we isolate would be considered MDRO. I’ll refer to this later as the “GBGX” paper. 22 drugs in 17 classes MDR – NS to at least one drug in at least 3 classes XDR – NS to at least one drug in all but 2 or fewer classes PDR – NS to all drugs in all classes 22 drugs in 17 classes 14 drugs in 13 classes MDR – NS to at least one drug in at least 3 classes XDR – NS to at least one drug in all but 2 or fewer classes PDR – NS to all drugs in all classes Standardization, but is it practical?

Mandatory Reporting • Which definition to use? – Labs using old breakpoints – Labs using new breakpoints • Infections only, or include colonization? – Mandatory surveillance? – Which method? • CDC method • Chromogenic media What We’ve Done • Certain organisms are designated in microbiology laboratory reports as MDROs. • The Microbiology Laboratory makes this determination on the basis of full susceptibility results from the MicroScan and supplemental testing if necessary. • The chief intent is infection control. All patients infected with an isolate reported as an MDRO are put into contact precautions. • We continue to use pre-2009 CLSI breakpoints for cephalosporins and carbapenems with supplemental testing for beta-lactamases as necessary. • We generally do not do surveillance cultures to detect colonization, with the exception of weekly MRSA cultures in the NICU. Our MDRO Definitions • MRSA – by oxacillin or cefoxitin MIC or by growth on chromogenic medium • VRE – by vancomycin MIC; E. faecalis and E. faecium only • E. coli, Klebsiella, and Proteus mirabilis that produces ESBL enzymes • Certain Enterobacteriaceae that produce plasmid-encoded AmpC enzymes Our MDRO Definitions Our MDRO Definitions Our MDRO Definitions What about other bugs?

What’s your purpose? How will the data be shared? • Create meaningful definitions that fit your purpose. • Continue to follow good selective reporting, but include non-reported drugs in determining MDRO status. • Make determination of MDRO status as easy as possible. Automate if possible. And thanks to Siemens for their sponsorship of this program.
