Abstract
Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) have revolutionized the management of Gram-negative bacteremia by allowing antimicrobial stewardship teams the ability to escalate therapy and improve patient outcomes through timely organism identification and detection of certain resistance determinants. However, given the complex nature of Gram-negative resistance, stewardship teams are left without clear direction for how to respond when resistance determinants are absent, as the safety of de-escalation in this setting is unknown. The primary purpose of this analysis was to determine the negative predictive values (NPVs) of resistance marker absence for predicting susceptibility in target bug-drug scenarios at two geographically distinct institutions. A total of 1,046 Gram-negative bloodstream isolates that were analyzed with the Verigene BC-GN platform were assessed. Except for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the absence of resistance determinants as reported by the RDT largely predicted susceptibility to target antibiotics at both institutions. NPVs for ceftriaxone susceptibility in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae in the absence of either CTX-M or a carbapenemase gene were 98% and 93 to 94%, respectively. Similar results were seen with oth...Continue Reading
