| الوصف: | Background Currently it can take up to 5 days to rule out bloodstream infection. With the low yield of blood cultures (approximately 10%), a significant number of patients are potentially exposed to inappropriate therapy that can lead to adverse events. More rapid rule out can accelerate deescalation or cessation of antimicrobial therapy, improving patient outcomes. Methods A method is described, termed enzymatic template generation and amplification (ETGA), that universally and sensitively detects DNA polymerase activity liberated from viable bacteria and fungi isolated from blood culture samples as a measure of bloodstream infection. ETGA was applied in a diagnostic test format to identify negative blood cultures after an overnight incubation. Performance data for a prototype (Cognitor) and automated (Magnitor) version of the test are presented. Results The Cognitor manual assay displayed analytical reactivity for a panel of the 20 most prevalent causes of bloodstream infection, with a detection range of 28–9050 CFU/mL. Validation with 1457 clinical blood cultures showed a negative predictive value of 99.0% compared to blood culture incubation for 5 days. Magnitor showed an improved detection range of 1–67 CFU/mL, allowing for detection of bacteria-supplemented blood cultures after 2–8 h incubation, and Candida albicans-supplemented blood cultures at 16–22 h, 5–15 h faster than blood culture. Removing an aliquot from a blood culture bottle and replacing the bottle into the incubator was shown not to result in contaminating organisms being introduced. Conclusions The described method displays excellent breadth and detection for microbial cells and demonstrates the capability of confirming negative blood cultures after an overnight incubation in a blood culture instrument. |
