Evaluation of the Accelerate Pheno™ System for identification of Acinetobacter clinical isolates and minocycline susceptibility testing.
Journal of Clinical Microbiology 2019 January 17
Pheno™ is a rapid phenotypic bacterial identification and susceptibility testing system which is approved for use with positive blood cultures. Acinetobacter baumannii is a nosocomial pathogen for which limited treatment options include minocycline in the case of multidrug resistance. Here, we studied the performance of A. baumannii identification and minocycline susceptibility testing by Pheno™ using 101 contemporary Acinetobacter spp. clinical isolates. Overall, the sensitivity for A. baumannii and A. baumannii complex identification was 100% (73/73) and 97.6% (82/84), respectively. Specificity for A. baumannii complex identification was 86.6% (13/15). Essential agreement of minocycline susceptibility results (±1 log2 MIC agreement) of Pheno™ MICs with reference broth microdilution was 98.0% (96/98). There were no very major errors or major errors. Overall, 24.5% (24/98) of results yielded minor errors. Pheno™ reliably identified A. baumannii and predicted minocycline susceptibility results, which should help guide treatment choices in a timely manner for infections where options are limited.
