INTRODUCTION TO CLSI M35-A2


Goes way back to the introduction of commercial
identification systems
Laboratories lacking confidence, resources in
Introduction validation of alternative methods

Utilization of these methods has resulted in


greater standardization and more accuracy

In some cases, may have resulted in cost and


turnaround time increases

WARNING CAVEATS
Laboratory directors, managers, and Isolates conforming to reactions described in
supervisors responsible for ensuring M35-A2 identify organism with >95% accuracy;
appropriate use of rapid methods identification can be reported without qualification
“Isolates to be tested should match “Confirmation by additional procedures is

Competency assessment Lack of a positive result does not rule out the
identification of an isolate; just signifies need for
Colony, Gram stain
Smell (when safe) additional testing

MORE WARNINGS EXCLUSIONS????


Employ standard precautions Rapid results may need to be validated
Cover transmission of all infectious agents Certain microbes from normally-sterile sites
Universal precautions cover blood-borne pathogens Potential agents of bioterrorism
Refer to CLSI M29 Microbes important to infection control practitioners
Microbes implicated
p in nosocomial outbreaks
Sniffing/wafting can be dangerous
Once mold colony is ruled out, opening Risk (being wrong) vs. benefit (patient care/safety)
of plates from non-invasive sources (i.e.,
urine, sputum) is common & relatively safe M35-A eliminated certain organism groupings

P. aeruginosa, H. influenzae, Eikenella, However, possibility of serious pathogen or ability


S. anginosus group odor can be detected to rule out potential agent of bioterrorism has
by opened plates “not sniffed purposely” resulted in M35-A2 including additional organisms

THE END
Rapid identification algorithms
can benefit both the laboratory
and patient care

Requires sufficient knowledge base


in terms of knowing principles and limitations

Can (importantly) be applied to rule-out situations

Use an algorithm-based approach for bioterrorism
