Value of rapid antigen detection tests (RADTs) for diagnosis of invasive group A Streptococci (GAS)
• MBC vs UBC (1 centre): cost savings: 193,275 €/yr (materials, labour time)
UBC may decrease the # of false positives and false negatives compared with MBC and may lead to significant cost savings

MALDI-TOF for pathogen identification in blood cultures (BCs): improved methods
Short-incubation (SI) MALDI-TOF for rapid pathogen identification1:
3-centre study (Finland):
•50-100 ml blood from pos. BC bottle aspirated onto blood, chocolate and FAA agar plates → incubation 3-4h 37°C CO2 atmosphere
•Sample from application area of each plate spread on a MALDI-TOF target plate, even if no visible growth + 1 µl matrix suspension added + air drying → samples analysed in MALDI-TOF instruments
•Comparison with conventional MALDI-TOF or other identification methods

MALDI-TOF for pathogen identification in blood cultures (BCs): improved methods
MALDI-TOF-MS directly on positive BCs2:
Single-centre study (2013-2014; Denmark): N=1,068 unique isolates
•2 ml blood from pos. BC bottle centrifuged (1,000g; 2 min) to remove RBCs → supernatant centrifuged (14,000g; 10 min) → bacteria in pellet
•Sample from pellet transferred to MALDI-TOF target plate, without protein extraction + standard matrix added → analysed in MALDI-TOF instrument
•Comparison with conventional MALDI-TOF (samples cultured on 5% Danish blood or anaerobic agar plates) (cut-off score: 1.7)
Short-incubation MALDI-TOF or MALDI-TOF directly on pos. BC bottles may simplify and fasten pathogen identification in BCs

MALDI-TOF + antimicrobial stewardship team (AST) intervention: impact on outcomes in pts with bloodstream infections (BSIs)
• Single-centre before-after study (USA): N=501 adult pts with BSI
– Pre-intervention phase (Sep-Nov 2011): BSI identified by conventional methods
– Intervention phase (Sep-Nov 2012): BSI identified via MALDI-TOF + real-time evidence-based antibiotic recommendations by AST

• Multivariate analysis for predictors of mortality: Acceptance of AST intervention: trend towards reduced mortality: OR=0.55; 95% CI:0.28-1.06; P=0.075
MALDI-TOF + antimicrobial stewardship team (AST) intervention: impact on outcomes in pts with bloodstream infections (BSIs)
MALDI-TOF + AST intervention may decrease time to organism identification and time to effective and optimal antibiotic therapy

1,3-β-D-glucan (BG) antigenaemia: accuracy for diagnosing intraabdominal candidiasis (IAC)
• Fungal Infection Network of Switzerland (FUNGINOS): 2-centre, prospective, observational cohort study (2007-2010): median FU: 19 days
• N=89 adult ICU pts (≥72h in ICU) with recurrent GI tract perforation (N=68) or acute necrotising pancreatitis (N=21); 920 sera analysed (9 sera/patient)

• Mortality/sepsis rate among pts with documented IAC (N=29):
• Time between microbiological diagnosis of IAC (day 0) and time of reaching value above the cut-off value (per diagnostic method):

Accuracy (N=29 pts with documented IAC; maximum value up to time of IAC diagnosis compared with day 7 after inclusion in pts without IAC)
1,3-β-D-glucan (BG) antigenaemia: accuracy for diagnosing intraabdominal candidiasis (IAC)
In high-risk surgical ICU pts, BG antigenaemia was more accurate than CS and (C)CI and anticipated diagnosis of blood culture-neg. IAC
