2 Terms and definitions

The following terms and definitions apply to this document. 2.1 Antimicrobial susceptibility testing Detecting the in vitro sensitivity of microbes (this document specifically refers to bacteria) against microbial drugs (specifically referred to as antibacterial drugs) to guide The bed is rationally selected for the microbiological test of the drug, referred to as the drug sensitivity test. 2.2 Minimum inhibitory concentration Minimal inhibitory concentration; MIC The minimum antibacterial concentration that inhibits macroscopic growth of microorganisms in agar or broth dilution drug sensitivity test. 2.3 Breakpoint Breakpoint Can predict clinical treatment effects to determine sensitive, intermediate, dose-dependent, resistant, non-sensitive minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) Or the value of the diameter of the inhibition zone (mm). 2.3.1 Sensitive Susceptible;S When the antibacterial drug is in the sensitive range of the MIC value or the inhibition zone diameter of the isolate, the recommended dose is used for treatment, and the drug is infected. The concentration usually reached at the site can inhibit the growth of the tested bacteria, and clinical treatment may be effective. 2.3.2 Intermediary Intermediate; I When the MIC value of the strain or the diameter of the zone of inhibition is intermediate, the value is close to the concentration reached by the drug in the blood and tissue, thereby treating The response rate is lower than the sensitive flora. This classification means that the treatment may be higher than the conventional dose or at the site where the drug is physiologically concentrated. effective. This classification can also be used as a “buffer domain” to prevent significant deviations caused by minor, uncontrollable technical factors, especially toxicity. A narrower range of drugs. 2.3.3 Dose-dependent sensitive Susceptible-dose dependent;SDD The sensitivity of bacterial strains to antimicrobial agents depends on the dose of antimicrobial agents. When a drug has a MIC or inhibition zone diameter for the strain in SDD In the scope, the clinical efficacy can be achieved by modifying the dosage regimen by increasing the dose and/or increasing the frequency of administration. 2.3.4 Resistant Resistant; R When the MIC value or the inhibition zone diameter of the antibacterial agent is in the classification range, the conventional treatment plan is used, and the drug is in the infection department. The concentration of the drug achieved does not inhibit bacterial growth, and/or the test strain acquires a special resistance mechanism, and therapeutic studies have shown that The clinical efficacy of the drug is not clear. 2.3.5 Non-sensitive Nonsusceptible; NS For those antibacterial drugs that have only sensitive refracts due to unrepresented or rare resistance, when the MIC value of the drug is higher or lower than that of an isolate This classification is non-sensitive when the diameter of the circle is below the sensitive point. 2.4 Epidemiological cutoff value; ECV Differentiating the microbial population into MIC values or zone of inhibition with or without acquired resistance is the upper limit of population sensitivity. According to ECV, The strains were divided into wild type and non-wild type. 2.4.1 Wild type Wild-type; WT According to the ECV value, a strain that has not obtained a resistance mechanism or a decrease in sensitivity in the evaluation of antibiotics (including antifungal drugs) is defined as Wild type. 2.4.2 Non-wild type Non-wild-type; NWT According to the ECV value, the antibiotics (including antifungal drugs) are evaluated in a drug resistance mechanism or a strain with reduced sensitivity. It is non-wild type. 2.5 Potency Potency The antibacterial activity of the antibacterial component is determined by the same standard substance. The unit is mg/g, IU/g or expressed as a percentage. 2.6 Basic agreement; EA The MIC value of the MIC system to be tested differs from the reference method by no more than one dilution factor. When the method to be evaluated is the disk diffusion method, the EA is not calculated. 2.7 Classification consistency Categorical agreement; CA The drug sensitivity method and the reference method were evaluated to judge the test results as consistency of sensitivity, mediation and drug resistance. 2.8 Very significant error; Very major error; VME Misjudgment of resistance is sensitive, that is, false sensitivity. 2.9 Major error, major error, ME Sensitive mistakes are judged as drug resistance, that is, false drug resistance. 2.10 Minor error The agent is judged to be sensitive or resistant, or to be resistant or sensitive. 2.11 Routine test A paper diffusion method, broth or agar dilution method for routine clinical testing. 2.12 Supplementary (unconventional) drug sensitivity test (Supplemental (not routing) test Sensitivity or drug resistance of a certain type of drug is detected by methods other than conventional disk diffusion method, broth or agar dilution method, and The method does not require additional testing to confirm the sensitivity or drug resistance of the drug. 2.13 Screening test Provide a test of the assumed results. When the screening result is positive, additional tests are required to confirm. 2.14 Alternative drug test Surrogate agent test When the drug sensitivity of the target antibacterial drug cannot be detected or the drug sensitivity detection performance of the substitute drug is superior to the target drug, the drug can replace the target drug The drug was tested for drug susceptibility. 2.15 Equivalent agent test A drug can predict the drug susceptibility results of similar drugs that are closely related to it, and the drug susceptibility test for the drug can reduce the detection of other related drugs. Quantity to improve detection efficiency.

3 Drug selection and reporting for routine susceptibility testing

3.1 susceptibility test test grouping of drugs Group A. Basic antibacterial drugs routinely tested and reported for specific strains. Group B. routine testing, but only selective reporting of basic antibacterials, such as when resistant to Group A drugs of the same type. Selective reporting indication Also included. specific site isolates (eg, third-generation cephalosporins for Enterobacteriaceae in cerebrospinal fluid), mixed infections, multiple site infections, and patient-to-patient Group A drug allergy/intolerance/non-response, for infection control purposes. Group C. Includes alternative or complementary antibacterials. In some medical institutions, local or epidemic strains are resistant to multiple drugs in group A/group B When testing this group of drugs; when it is allergic to basic test drugs, or when testing rare bacteria, or when epidemiology and infection control are needed, Test supplements. Group U. Includes those antibacterial drugs that are only or primarily used to treat urinary tract infections. Laboratorys at all levels determine the different strains of the laboratory based on local pathogen characteristics, drug representation, clinical needs, and laboratory conditions. Drug testing and reporting combination. The above-mentioned principles are combined to select an automated drug sensitive plate, which is supplemented when the drug sensitive plate cannot meet the demand. 3.2 Interpretation of results The results of laboratory testing and reporting of the MIC value of the antibacterial drug or the diameter of the inhibition zone (mm) are divided into. sensitive (S), dose dependent Lymphatic sensitivity (SDD), intermediate (I), drug resistance (R) or non-sensitive (NS); according to ECV, divided into wild type (WT) or non-wild type (NWT). 3.3 Reporting principles 3.3.1 Basic principles Susceptibility testing can only be reported when the isolate may have clinical significance rather than colonization or contamination. Susceptibility testing to detect acquired resistance Non-naturally resistant, the laboratory should identify the natural resistance spectrum of various species of bacteria, and avoid false positives of natural resistance. Individual genus Often sensitive, or the infection caused by the bacteria does not require the use of antibacterial drugs (such as diarrhea caused by Escherichia coli O157), routine susceptibility test is not required. The laboratory selectively reports drug susceptibility results based on drug grouping, specimen type, and the like. 3.3.2 Drug sensitivity methods and selection of vertices For different drug/species combinations, the laboratory should select appropriate susceptibility methods and develop procedures for susceptibility testing (including Quality control standards, interpretation of results, etc.). The laboratory should adopt the breakpoint issued by the domestic and foreign authorities in the past two years, and review the drug sensitivity test of the room every year. Measuring the range of the breakpoint of the system; because the concentration range of the drug sensitive strip is limited, when the new breakpoint cannot be used, the corresponding drug resistance phenotype test should be supplemented. And inform the clinic. Determine the applicability of the breakpoint and the strain, the drug sensitivity method, the test conditions, the paper content, the infection site, the drug (type, dose, frequency, Way) related. When the above conditions meet the corresponding requirements, the discount point applies. For drugs that are not given a breakpoint by the International Committee on Drug Abuse, it is recommended Use domestic and foreign expert consensus and authoritative literature to conduct operations and judgments, and inform the clinic. 3.3.3 Special notes on drug sensitivity report a) Salmonella and Shigella isolated from the intestine need only report ampicillin, a fluoroquinolone and trimethoprim/sulfa Oxazole. Salmonella isolated from the gut, need to increase the test and report a third-generation cephalosporin, if necessary, test and report Prime. Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium and Salmonella paratyphi A, B, S, S. typhimurium) should be tested for drug susceptibility, intestinal separation Non-typhoid Salmonella is generally not tested for susceptibility. Salmonella and Shigella to the first and second generation cephalosporins, cephalosporins Both amino and aminoglycosides may be sensitive in vitro, but clinical treatment is ineffective, so these drugs are not tested and reported. b) Oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus is resistant to the currently available β-lactams (except ceftaroline). Testing penicillin and The sensitivity of other β-lactams can be inferred by oxacillin or cefoxitin. c) Enterococcus to aminoglycosides (except for high concentrations of aminoglycosides), cephalosporins, clindamycin and trimethoprim/sulfonate Amoxazole may be sensitive in vitro, but clinical treatment is ineffective and should not be reported as sensitive. d) Cerebrospinal fluid isolates are not routinely tested and reported for the following drugs. only oral dosage forms, first and second generation cephalosporins Enterin (except cefuroxime injection) and cephalosporins, clindamycin, macrolides, tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones. e) Respiratory isolates should not be tested and reported for daptomycin, urine isolates do not report chloramphenicol, clindamycin and erythromycin, non-urinary The liquid isolate did not test and report nitrofurantoin. f) Reports of drug susceptibility may be issued after a rare drug-resistant phenotype, extensive drug resistance or total drug resistance bacteria should be reviewed. Once confirmed, hospital infection control should be reported Office. The laboratory retains these strains for epidemiological investigations or for additional clinical susceptibility testing. 3.3.4 Report Content and Form 3.3.4.1 General information The report includes. patient information (name, age, gender, medical record number, etc.), clinical information (such as departments, clinical diagnosis, antibacterial drugs) Material use, specimen type, etc.), laboratory information (including specimen collection time, inspection time, receiving time, and audit report time, operation) People and reviewers double signature) and so on. 3.3.4.2 Drug sensitivity test 3.3.4.2.1 Names of bacteria and drugs The name of the bacteria should be standardized, see the bacterial naming standard. The Latin name should be marked. The drug name should use the chemical name of the specification, Do not use the product name. It is advisable to display the Chinese and English names of the drugs at the same time, and the different types of drugs of the same class are arranged in a concentrated manner. 3.3.4.2.2 Results presented a) The report should clearly list the breakpoints of the various drugs for the strain, the version number or publication time of the standard used in the laboratory. b) If there is no breakpoint and borrow other artificial species breakpoints or use authoritative document breakpoints, note the remarks. c) MIC method reports MIC value (in mg/L or μg/mL) and interpretation of results; disc diffusion method reports inhibition zone diameter value (should be Is an integer in mm). The results are interpreted according to the vertices or ECV as S, I, R, SDD, NS, WT, NWT, and so on. d) Do not report susceptibility results for alternative drugs. For example, cefoxitin for judging the resistance of Staphylococcus aureus to oxacillin should not be reported Report. 3.3.4.2.3 Special resistance phenotype It is advisable to clearly label the special resistant phenotype in the report and to explain the special resistant phenotype professionally, including meaning, mechanism and drug use limit. System and recommendations.
