RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Candida auris has become a worrisome multi-drug resistant healthcare-associated pathogen due to its capacity to colonise patients and surfaces and to cause outbreaks of invasive infections in critically ill patients. OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the outbreak in our setting in a 4-year period, reporting the risk factors for developing candidemia in previously colonised patients, the therapeutic measures for candidemia and the outcome of candidemia and colonisation cases among all C. auris isolates and their susceptibility to antifungals. METHODS: Data were retrospectively collected from patients admitted to Consorcio Hospital General Universitario de Valencia (Spain) from September 2017 to September 2021. A retrospective case-control study was designed to identify risk factors for developing C. auris candidemia in previously colonised patients. RESULTS: C. auris affected 550 patients, of which 210 (38.2%) had some clinical sample positive. Isolates were uniformly resistant to fluconazole, 20 isolates were resistant to echinocandins (2.8%) and four isolates were resistant to ampfotericin B (0.6%). There were 86 candidemia cases. APACHE II, digestive disease and catheter isolate were proven to be independent risk factors for developing candidemia in previously colonised patients. Thirty-day mortality rate for C. auris candidemia cases was 32.6%, while for colonisation cases was 33.7%. CONCLUSIONS: Candidemia was one of the most frequent and severe infections caused by C. auris. The risk factors identified in this study should help to detect patients who are at more risk of developing candidemia, as long as an adequate surveillance of C. auris colonisation is performed.

RESUMO

A method to identify molecular scaffolds potentially active against the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) is developed. A set of structurally heterogeneous agents against MTBC was used to obtain a mathematical model based on topological descriptors. This model was statistically validated through a Leave-n-Out test. It successfully discriminated between active or inactive compounds over 86% in database sets. It was also useful to select new potential antituberculosis compounds in external databases. The selection of new substituted pyrimidines, pyrimidones and triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines was particularly interesting because these structures could provide new scaffolds in this field. The seven selected candidates were synthesized and six of them showed activity in vitro.

RESUMO

Candida auris es una levadura multirresistente emergente que causa infecciones invasivas graves y brotes con una alta mortalidad. El control de C. auris es un reto. Laboratorios, clínicos e instituciones sanitarias deben trabajar conjuntamente para mejorar la identificación y el tratamiento de la infección, así como el control de la transmisión. Esta revisión describe los aspectos generales de la biología, diagnóstico y tratamiento de C. auris, al igual que las recomendaciones publicadas recientemente por un grupo de expertos. También se presenta la experiencia de un brote de C. auris en el Consorcio Hospital General Universitario de Valencia desde septiembre de 2017 hasta agosto de 2019. Se detectaron un total de 203 pacientes infectados y/o colonizados por C. auris. Se diagnosticaron 30 infecciones invasivas (29 candidemias y 1 meningitis). El 32% de las candidemias del año 2018 fueron por C. auris. Todas las cepas fueron resistentes a fluconazol


Candida auris is an emerging multidrug-resistant yeast that causes serious invasive infections and outbreaks with high mortality. Controlling C. auris is a challenge in which laboratories, clinicians and public health agencies are needed to identify and treat infections and prevent transmission. This review describes the general aspects of the biology, diagnosis and treatment of C. auris infection, as well as the main recommendations recently published by expert groups. We also present our experience of the C. auris outbreak at the Consorcio Hospital General Universitario de Valencia from September 2017 to August 2019. A total of 203 patients were colonised and/or infected by C. auris. Thirty invasive infections (29 blood cultures and one case of meningitis) were diagnosed. In all, 32% cases of candidemia were caused by C. auris in 2018. All strains were resistant to fluconazole

RESUMO

Se presenta el análisis anual de los resultados remitidos durante el año 2017 por los participantes inscritos en el Programa de Control de Calidad de la Sociedad Española de Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiología Clínica (SEIMC), que incluye las áreas de bacteriología, serología, micología, parasitología, micobacterias, virología, microbiología molecular y de detección genotípica de mecanismos de resistencia bacteriana. Los resultados obtenidos por los centros participantes resaltan, de nuevo, la adecuada capacitación de la inmensa mayoría de los laboratorios españoles de microbiología clínica, como ya venía sucediendo en los últimos años. Sin embargo, el programa muestra de nuevo que es posible obtener un resultado erróneo, incluso en determinaciones de la mayor trascendencia y en cualquier laboratorio. Una vez más, se destaca la importancia de complementar el control interno que cada laboratorio lleve a cabo con estudios de intercomparación externos, como los que ofrece el Programa SEIMC


This article provides an analysis of the results obtained in 2017 by the participants inscribed in the External Quality Control Programme of the Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology (SEIMC), which includes controls for bacteriology, serology, mycology, parasitology, mycobacteria, virology, molecular microbiology, and genotypic bacterial resistance. The results obtained in 2017 confirm the excellent skill and good technical standards found in previous editions. However, the programme again showed that erroneous results can be obtained in any laboratory and even in clinically relevant determinations. Once again, the results of this program highlight the need to implement both internal and external controls, as in the SEIMC programme

RESUMO

FUNDAMENTOS: Las determinaciones microbiológicas de la carga viral de los virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana tipo 1 (VIH-1), de la hepatitis C (VHC) y de la hepatitis B (VHB) son fundamentales para el seguimiento y control de los pacientes infectados por estos virus. Los laboratorios de microbiología disponen de herramientas que garantizan la fiabilidad de sus resultados, entre ellas se encuentran los programas de intercomparación externos, como es el Programa de Control de Calidad de la Sociedad Española de Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiología Clínica (SEIMC). En el presente número se muestra el análisis de resultados del Programa de Control de Calidad SEIMC de carga viral de estos virus, incluyendo el genotipado del VHC, realizado durante el año 2017. MÉTODOS Y RESULTADOS: En el control de VIH-1 se remitieron 5 estándares, de los que uno (plasma humano seronegativo) no contenía el virus, y los otros 4 consistían en plasma de 3 pacientes virémicos distintos en un intervalo de concentraciones entre 2-5 log10 copias/ml. Una parte significativa de los laboratorios obtuvo de uno a varios resultados fuera de los límites aceptables (media ± 0,25 log10 copias/ml), dependiendo del estándar y del método empleado, en promedio el 35% de los centros. La repetibilidad fue buena, y más del 94% de los laboratorios obtuvieron resultados aceptables (D < 0,5 log10 copias/ml). En los controles de VHC y VHB se remitieron 2 estándares con diferente contenido del virus. La mayor parte de los participantes, un 82% en el caso del VHC y un 87% en el del VHB, obtuvo ambos resultados dentro de los límites de la media±1,96 DE log10 UI/ml. CONCLUSIONES: Los resultados obtenidos ponen de manifiesto la utilidad de los controles externos para asegurar la calidad de los resultados analíticos. Debido a la variabilidad interlaboratorio observada, es aconsejable utilizar el mismo método y laboratorio en el seguimiento de los pacientes


BACKGROUND: Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and hepatitis B (HBV) and C virus (HCV) viral load determinations are among the most relevant markers for the follow-up of patients infected with these viruses. External quality control tools are crucial to ensure the accuracy of the results obtained by microbiology laboratories. This article summarised the results obtained from the 2017 SEIMC External Quality Control Programme for HIV-1, HCV, and HBV viral loads and HCV genotyping. METHODS AND RESULTS: In the HIV-1 programme, a total of five standards were sent. One standard consisted of seronegative human plasma, while the remaining four contained plasma from three different viremic patients, in the range of 2-5 log10 copies/mL; two of these standards were identical, with the aim of determining repeatability. A significant proportion of the laboratories (35% on average) obtained values outside the accepted range (mean ± 0.25 log10 copies/mL), depending on the standard and on the method used for quantification. Repeatability was good, with up to 94% of laboratories reporting results within the limits (D < 0.5 log10 copies/mL). The HBV and HCV programme consisted of two standards with different viral load contents. Most of the participants, 82% in the case of HCV and 87% in that of HBV, obtained all the results within the accepted range (mean ± 1.96 SD log10 UI/mL). CONCLUSIONS: Data from this analysis reinforce the utility of proficiency programmes to ensure the quality of the results obtained by a particular laboratory. Due to the marked interlaboratory variability observed, it is advisable to use the same method and laboratory for patient follow-up

RESUMO

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) viral load determinations are among the most relevant markers for the follow up of patients infected with these viruses. External quality control tools are crucial to ensure the accuracy of results obtained by microbiology laboratories. This article summarizes the results obtained from the 2014 SEIMC (Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology) External Quality Control Programme for HIV-1, HCV, and HBV viral loads. In the HIV-1 program, a total of 5 standards were sent. One standard consisted in seronegative human plasma, while the remaining 4 contained plasma from 3 different viremic patients, in the range of 2-5 log10 copies/mL; 2 of these standards were identical aiming to determine repeatability. A significant proportion of the laboratories (30.8% on average) obtained values out of the accepted range (mean ± 0.25 log10 copies/mL), depending on the standard and on the method used for quantification. Repeatability was excellent, with up to 95.8% of laboratories reporting results within the limits (Δ < 0.5 log10 copies/mL). The HBV and HCV program consisted of 2 standards with different viral load contents. Most of the participants, 83.7% in the case of HCV and 87.9% in the HBV, obtained all the results within the accepted range (mean ± 1.96 standard deviations log10 IU/mL). Data from this analysis reinforce the utility of proficiency programmes to ensure the quality of the results obtained by a particular laboratory, as well as the importance of the post-analytical phase on the overall quality. Due to the remarkable interlaboratory variability, it is advisable to use the same method and the same laboratory for patient follow up.

RESUMO

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and hepatitis B (HBV) and C virus (HCV) viral load determinations are among the most relevant markers for the follow up of patients infected with these viruses. External quality control tools are crucial to ensure the accuracy of results obtained by microbiology laboratories. This article summarized the results obtained from the 2012 SEIMC External Quality Control Programme for HIV-1, HCV, and HBV viral loads. In the HIV-1 program, a total of five standards were sent. One standard consisted in seronegative human plasma, while the remaining four contained plasma from three different viremic patients, in the range of 2-5 log10 copies/mL; two of these standards were identical aiming to determine repeatability. A significant proportion of the laboratories (22.3% on average) obtained values out of the accepted range (mean±0.25 log10 copies/mL), depending on the standard and on the method used for quantification. Repeatability was excellent, with up to 98.9% of laboratories reporting results within the limits (Δ < 0.5 log10 copias/mL). The HBV and HCV program consisted of two standards with different viral load contents. Most of the participants, 84% in the case of HCV and 88% in the HBV, obtained all the results within the accepted range (mean±1.96 SD log10 UI/mL). Data from this analysis reinforce the utility of proficiency programmes to ensure the quality of the results obtained by a particular laboratory, as well as the importance of the post-analytical phase on the overall quality. Due to the remarkable interlaboratory variability, it is advisable to use the same method and the same laboratory for patient follow up.

RESUMO

Las determinaciones de la carga viral de los virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana tipo 1 (VIH-1), de la hepatitis C (VHC) y de la hepatitis B (VHB) son marcadores microbiológicos fundamentales para el seguimiento y control de los pacientes infectados por estos virus. Los laboratorios de microbiología disponen de herramientas que garantizan la fiabilidad de sus resultados; entre ellas se encuentran los programas de intercomparación externos, como el Programa de Control de Calidad de la Sociedad Española de Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiología Clínica (SEIMC). En el presente número se muestra el análisis de resultados del Programa de Control de Calidad SEIMC de carga viral de estos virus, incluyendo el genotipado del VHC, realizado durante el año 2012.En el control de VIH-1 se remitieron 5 estándares, de los que 1 (plasma humano seronegativo) no contenía el virus y los otros 4 consistían en plasma de 3 pacientes virémicos distintos en un intervalo de concentraciones de entre 2-5 log10 copias/ml; 2 de ellos eran idénticos, con el fin de analizar la repetibilidad. Una parte significativa de los laboratorios obtuvo de uno a varios resultados fuera de los límites aceptables (media ± 0,25 log10 copias/ml), dependiendo del estándar y del método empleado, en promedio el 22,3% de los centros. La repetibilidad fue excelente y más del 98,9% de los laboratorios obtuvo resultados aceptables (Δ < 0,5 log10 copias/ml). En los controles de VHC y VHB se remitieron 2 estándares con diferente contenido del virus. La mayor parte de los participantes, alrededor del 84% en el caso del VHC y del 88% en el del VHB, obtuvo ambos resultados dentro de los límites de la media ± 1,96 DE log10 UI/ml. Los resultados obtenidos ponen de manifiesto la utilidad de los controles externos para asegurar la calidad de los resultados analíticos, incluyendo la fase postanalítica. Debido a la variabilidad interlaboratorio es aconsejable utilizar un mismo método y el mismo laboratorio en el seguimiento de los pacientes


Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and hepatitis B (HBV) and C virus (HCV) viral load determinations are among the most relevant markers for the follow up of patients infected with these viruses. External quality control tools are crucial to ensure the accuracy of results obtained by microbiology laboratories. This article summarized the results obtained from the 2012 SEIMC External Quality Control Programme for HIV-1, HCV, and HBV viral loads. In the HIV-1 program, a total of five standards were sent. One standard consisted in seronegative human plasma, while the remaining four contained plasma from three different viremic patients, in the range of 2-5 log10 copies/mL; two of these standards were identical aiming to determine repeatability. A significant proportion of the laboratories (22.3% on average) obtained values out of the accepted range (mean±0.25 log10 copies/mL), depending on the standard and on the method used for quantification. Repeatability was excellent, with up to 98.9% of laboratories reporting results within the limits (Δ < 0.5 log10 copias/mL). The HBV and HCV program consisted of two standards with different viral load contents. Most of the participants, 84% in the case of HCV and 88% in the HBV, obtained all the results within the accepted range (mean±1.96 SD log10 UI/mL).Data from this analysis reinforce the utility of proficiency programmes to ensure the quality of the results obtained by a particular laboratory, as well as the importance of the post-analytical phase on the overall quality. Due to the remarkable interlaboratory variability, it is advisable to use the same method and the same laboratory for patient follow up (AU)

RESUMO

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and hepatitis B (HBV) and C virus (HCV) viral load determinations are among the most important markers in the follow-up of patients infected with these viruses. External quality control tools are crucial to ensure the accuracy of the results obtained by microbiology laboratories. This article summarizes the results of the 2011 SEIMC External Quality Control Program for HIV-1, HCV, and HBV viral loads. In the HIV-1 program, a total of five standards were sent. One standard consisted of seronegative human plasma, while the remaining four contained plasma from three different viremic patients in the range of 2-5 log10 copies/mL; to determine repeatability, two of these standards were identical. A significant proportion of the laboratories (52.1% on average) obtained values outside the accepted range (mean ± 0,25 log10 copies/mL), depending on the standard and on the method used for quantification. Repeatability was very good, with up to 94.9% of laboratories reporting results within the accepted range (Δ<0,5 log10 copies/ mL). The HBV and HCV program consisted of two standards with different viral load contents. In most of the participating laboratories (90% in the case of HCV and 86% in that of HBV), all the results were within the accepted range (mean ± 1.96 SD log10UI/mL). Data from this analysis reinforce the utility of proficiency programs to ensure the quality of the results obtained by a particular laboratory, as well as the importance of the post-analytical phase in overall quality. Due to the marked interlaboratory variability found, use of the same method and the same laboratory for patient follow-up is advisable.

RESUMO

El Programa Externo de Control de Calidad de la Sociedad Española de Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiología Clínica (SEIMC) incluye las áreas de serología, bacteriología, virología, parasitología, micología y micobacterias, entre otras. En este manuscrito se presenta un análisis general de los resultados remitidos por los participantes en los distintos controles del año 2008. Los resultados obtenidos por los centros participantes confirman el buen nivel general de los laboratorios españoles de microbiología clínica de años anteriores. A pesar de ello, el programa demuestra que se producen resultados erróneos, incluso en determinaciones de la mayor trascendencia y en cualquier laboratorio. Una vez más, se resalta la importancia de complementar el control interno que cada laboratorio lleva a cabo con estudios de intercomparación externos, como los que ofrece el Programa SEIMC


The External Quality Control Program of the Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology (SEIMC) include controls for bacteriology, serology, mycology, parasitology, mycobacteria and virology. This article present the most relevant conclusions and lessons from the 2008 controls. As a whole, the results obtained in 2008 confirm the excellent skill and good technical standards of the microbiology laboratories in Spain found in previous editions. However, a few deviations can be obtained in any laboratory, even in clinically relevant determinations. Once again, the results of this program highlighted the need to implement both internal and external controls in order to assure the maximal quality of the microbiological tests

RESUMO

Fundamentos: Las determinaciones de la carga viral de los virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana tipo 1 (VIH-1) y de la hepatitis C (VHC) son marcadores fundamentales para el seguimiento y el control de los pacientes infectados por estos virus. Es crucial que los laboratorios de microbiología dispongan de herramientas que garanticen la fiabilidad de sus resultados. En el presente número se muestra el análisis del Programa de Control de Calidad SEIMC de carga viral de ambos virus, realizados durante el año 2008. Métodos y resultados: En el control del VIH-1 se remitieron cinco estándares, de los que uno (plasma humano seronegativo) no contenía el virus, y los otros cuatro consistían en plasma de 3 pacientes virémicos distintos en un intervalo de concentraciones entre 2-5 log10 copias/ml; dos de ellos eran idénticos, con el fi n de analizar la repetitividad. La especificidad fue muy buena para todos los métodos comerciales, ya que no se detectaron resultados falsamente positivos. Una parte significativa de los laboratorios obtuvo resultados fuera de los límites aceptables (media ± 0,2 log10 copias/ml), dependiendo del estándar y del método empleado, en promedio el 24%. La repetitividad fue muy buena, y más del 95% de los laboratorios obtuvieron resultados aceptables (D < 0,5 log10 copias/ml). En el control del VHC se remitieron dos estándares con diferente contenido del virus. La mayor parte de los participantes (88,7%) obtuvo resultados dentro de los límites de la media ± 1,96 DE log10 UI/ml, aunque este porcentaje fue considerablemente inferior al del año anterior (94,6%). Se detectaron errores postanalíticos de transcripción de los resultados para el VHC, aunque no para el VIH-1. Conclusiones: Los resultados obtenidos refuerzan la utilidad de los controles externos para asegurar la calidad de los resultados analíticos, incluyendo la fase postanalítica. Debido a la variabilidad interlaboratorio, es aconsejable utilizar un mismo método y el mismo laboratorio en el seguimiento de los pacientes

RESUMO

The External Quality Control Program of the Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology (SEIMC) includes controls for bacteriology, serology, mycology, parasitology, mycobacteria, virology and molecular microbiology. This article presents the most important conclusions and lessons drawn from the 2007 controls. As a whole, the results obtained in 2007 confirm the excellent skill and good technical standards found in previous years. However, erroneous results can be obtained in any laboratory and in clinically relevant determinations. A few deviations were observed in some controls, calling for critical reflection. Once again, the results of this program highlighted the need to complement internal with external controls, such as those offered by the SEIMC program.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) viral load determinations are among the most important tasks performed in the molecular microbiology laboratory, due to their importance in patient follow-up. Quality control tools are crucial in these laboratories to ensure the accuracy of the results. This article presents the analysis of the results obtained in 2007 from the SEIMC External Quality Control Program for HIV-1 and HCV viral loads. METHODS AND RESULTS: In the HIV-1 program, a total of five standards were sent. One standard consisted of seronegative human plasma, while the remaining four contained plasma from three different viremic patients, in a range of 2-5 log(10) copies/mL; to analyze repeatability, two of these standards were identical. The specificity was good for all the methods used by the participants, and only two out of 75 results were considered to be false positive results. A substantial proportion of the laboratories (20% on average) obtained values outside the accepted range (mean +/-0.2 log(10) copies/mL), depending on the standard and on the method used for quantification. A few errors were due to the transcription of the analytical result. Repeatability was also acceptable but approximately 15% of laboratories failed this evaluation. The HCV program consisted of two standards with different viral load contents. Most of the participants (94.6%) obtained results within the accepted range (mean +/-1.96 SD log(10) UI/mL), and interlaboratory variability was <0.5 log units for both standards and all techniques. CONCLUSIONS: Data from this analysis reinforce the utility of proficiency programs to ensure the quality of the results obtained by a particular laboratory, as well as the importance of the post-analytical phase in overall quality. Due to wide interlaboratory variability, the use of the same method and the same laboratory for patient follow-up is advisable.
