a r ib r e L Redefining susceptibility categories I D or and introducing the ”area of technical uncertainty.” CM t h u Gunnar Kahlmeter E S a gunnar.kahlmeter@eucast.org Clinical microbiology Växjö, Sweden
a r In 2019 EUCAST decided ….. ib r e L • To change the definitions of S, I and R. I D or • To retain the letters S, I och R. M • To emphasize the relationship between the concentration of t h the antimicrobial agent at the site of the infection AND the C u breakpoints for categorisation (S, I and R). S a • To task clinical laboratories with the responsibility for E uncertain laboratory results, irrespective of origin. Gunnar Kahlmeter, EUCAST 2019
a r ib All breakpoints are ”exposure dependant”. r e L • Unless the microorganism is sufficiently exposed to the antimicrobial at the site of infection, there will be no I D or inhibitory or killing effect. M • The degree of exposure is determined by the agent and its C t h pharmacokinetics in the patient, the individual dose, the u frequency of dosing and the mode of administration. E S a • For some agents there is only one dose and one mode of administration – for others there are many options.
a r Susceptibility categories S, I and R (2002 – 2018) ib r e L Definitions of S and R were straightforward: D or S = a micro-organism is defined as susceptible by a level of antimicrobial activity associated I with a high likelihood of therapeutic success. I = a microorganism is defined as intermediate by a level of antimicrobial agent activity M associated with uncertain therapeutic effect. It implies that an infection due to the isolate h may be appropriately treated in body sites where the drugs are physiologically C t concentrated or when a high dosage of drug can be used; it also indicates a buffer zone u that should prevent small, uncontrolled, technical factors from causing major S discrepancies in interpretations. E a R = a micro-organism is defined as resistant by a level of antimicrobial activity associated with a high likelihood of therapeutic failure. Gunnar Kahlmeter, EUCAST 2019
a r ib r • Uncertain therapeutic effect – responsibility of EMA, EUCAST and the company e L – The breakpoint committee is responsible for breakpoints and guidance. – The validity of indications, breakpoints and methods. I D or • Uncertain result – responsibility of the laboratory M – The laboratory is responsible for AST results. C t h – Methodological and/or interpretative uncertainty (failing method) u S • Concentration at the site of infection – responsibility of the clinician E a – Dosing/administration: dose, frequency, mode (oral, iv, infusion). Gunnar Kahlmeter, EUCAST 2019
a r It was impossible to know which of 3 – 4 meanings were valid. ib r e L • So INTERMEDIATE was avoided! • We lost respect for ”INTERMEDIATE” I D or • We often lumped it with ”R”: CM t h – Some converted I to R in the report – Others lumped ”I” and ”R” together as ”Non-susceptible” in S u surveillance. a E Gunnar Kahlmeter, EUCAST 2019
a r VME (false susceptible result) ME (false resistant result) ib r e L The wider the I-category, the less likely VMEs and MEs occur. However, a wide I-category creates results with uncertain interpretation! I D or CM t h S a u E Gunnar Kahlmeter, EUCAST 2019
a r SIR – previous definitions ib r Susceptible e L Intermediate Uncertain effect. Buffer zone for technical variation. Resistant D or For a high dose. I Where concentrated for pharmacokinetic reasons. CM t h S a u E Gunnar Kahlmeter, EUCAST 2019
a r New definitions of S, I and R were needed… ib r e L S - Susceptible, standard dosing regimen: A microorganism is categorised as Susceptible, standard dosing regimen, when there is a high likelihood of therapeutic success using a standard dosing regimen of the agent. I D or I – Susceptible, increased exposure: A microorganism is categorised as Susceptible, M Increased exposure* when there is a high likelihood of therapeutic success because h exposure to the agent is increased by adjusting the dosing regimen or by its C t concentration at the site of infection. S a u R - Resistant: A microorganism is categorised as Resistant when there is a high E likelihood of therapeutic failure even when there is increased exposure. * Exposure is a function of how the mode of administration, dose, dosing interval, infusion time, as well as distribution and excretion of the antimicrobial agent will influence the infecting organism at the site of infection. Gunnar Kahlmeter, EUCAST 2019

a r Terminology in speech and writing ib r • • e L Report the bacterium S, I or R (laboratory report) The isolate is S, I or R to the agent in question. D or • The isolate belongs to the S, I or R category. • I The isolate is categorised as susceptible at normal dosing, susceptible at M increased exposure and resistant. h • The isolate can be called susceptible or resistant (but not intermediate) C t • Isolates which test S or I are called susceptible. S a u • ”Non-susceptible”, which was used to describe isolates which were I or R, E now only describes resistant isolates. Gunnar Kahlmeter, EUCAST 2019
a r Consequences of the new S, I and R…… ib r L in the clinic. e • Agents with an “I” in the laboratory report must be considered a therapeutic alternative – some will never be “S”. I D or • The need for increased exposure must be considered. • A number of wild type populations, hitherto categorised as “Susceptible” M h (but with a note in tables that high dose is required) will be re-categorised C t “I” (Susceptible, increased exposure). u – Some of these are already implemented in v 9.0, 2019. S a • Examples Acinetobacter vs. fluoroquinolones; Proteii vs. imipenem. E – Others are under development and will appear during 2019 for consultation. Gunnar Kahlmeter, EUCAST 2019
a r Consequences of the new S, I and R….. ib r L in the laboratory. e ”I” as a methodological buffer is gone. I D or The laboratory can no longer “hide” behind an “intermediate” – you need to get it right and QC your results, irrespective of what method you M are on. C t h It also places major responsibility on manufacturers of devices, panels, u S disks, agar, to make sure their products and material are up to speed and a can be quality controlled in daily microbiology.

a r BUT, sometimes there is a need for a “warning” ib r e L • Variation in the method which is difficult to control. D or • Variation in the interpretation which is difficult to control M I – Breakpoint splits wild type (mostly avoided by EUCAST) – Breakpoint splits an important resistant population (ceftaroline in C MRSA) u t h E S a Gunnar Kahlmeter, EUCAST 2019
a r Area of Technical Uncertainty (ATU) ib r e L • ATU is not a fourth susceptibility category – it is to warn laboratory staff about an area where interpretation is difficult. I D or • The ATU is not to compensate for poor methodological skills – on the contrary, AST today require more skills than ever before. CM t h • ATU is defined by a single MIC-value or a short range of zone S u diameter values. E a • How the ATU is dealt with depends on the situation (the sample, the agent, the infecting organism).
