  5. BT Media Available from NPHL  India Ink & wet prep for motility have been discontinued – not recommended by CDC  Optional - Spot Indole now DMACA with cinnamaldehyde reagent  Order in sets of 3 to include positive and negative controls with every test 5

  6. Scenario 1 • Clinical History: 69 year old female • Source: Blood Cultures, 1 of 4 bottles positive • Note: Laboratory has received HAN from Nebraska DHHS issuing a warning of a potential Bacillus anthracis outbreak reported in multiple locations across Nebraska. 6

  16. Organism 1 Trigger Points • Sterile site • Large Gram Positive Rod in direct smear • Subterminal spores, cell not swelling • HAN warning from NE DHHS • Not Hemolytic on SBA • Catalase Positive (caution – test produces aerosol) 16

  17. What did not fit? • Only 1 of 4 Blood Culture bottles positive • Not encapsulated in direct smear • Gram stain morphology not consistently chaining • Only 3 sentinel labs reported spores • Colony morphology more dry wrinkled • Growth was not 2-8 mm within 24 hr • Is the ground glass appearance and the comma shaped projections (medusa head) seen? • Did patient history or clinical presentation fit anthrax? 17 • Motility? Laboratories differed on results

  18. Group Biochemical Results: NCSE 2012 - 01 Did you use any of the following to identify the organism? If yes, please indicate reaction: Positive Negative Not Applicable No Response Oxidase (2) (1) (19) 3 Catalase (12) (9) (1) 3 Indole (0) (3) (19) 3 Motility (2) (16) (4) 3 Nitrate (0) (0) (22) 3 Satellite (0) (0) (22) 3 Urease (0) (2) (20) 3 18

  20. Responses to Organism 1 NCSE 2012 - 01 1 Bacillus spp Unable to rule out B. anthracis 11 Bacillus spp., not B. 10 anthracis Non Bioterrorism Agent 20

  21. What is the Best Answer for Organism 1?  Bacillus spp Not B. anthracis  Non Bioterrorism Agent??  Bacillus spp Unable to rule out B. anthracis Actual mimic organism sent: Bacillus spp Reference: • Organism was actual patient case which NPHL consulted with via STATPack • University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine Fact Sheet 7/7/2006 21 • Gastrointestinal Anthrax in New Hampshire: A 2009 Case Report - Laboratory Medicine; June 2011 CE Update. http://labmed.ascpjournals.org/content/42/6/363

  33. Group Biochemical Results: NCSE 2012 -02 Did you use any of the following to identify the organism? If yes, please indicate reaction: Positive Negative Not Applicable No Response Oxidase (20) (2) (0) 3 Catalase (15) (5) (2) 3 Motility (15) (1) (6) 3 Indole (0) (19) (3) 3 Beta-lactamase (3) (1) (18) 3 Nitrate (3) (0) (19) 3 Satellite (0) (0) (22) 3 Urease (0) (14) (8) 3 33

  36. Responses to Organism 2 NCSE 2012 – 02 Burkholderia spp, unable to rule out B 1 pseudomallei 2 Burkholderia spp, 2 unable to rule out B pseudomallei or mallei Burkholderia 13 4 pseudomallei Yersinia spp, unable to rule out Y pestis Non Bioterrorism Agent 36

  37. What is the Best Answer for Organism 2? • Burkholderia spp, unable to rule out B. pseudomallei Actual mimic organism sent: Burkholderia thailandensis Reference: Pneumonia and Septicemia Caused by Burkholderia thailandensis in the United States , Journal of Clinical Microbiology, Dec 2006, p 4601-4604 Comparison of Routine Bench and Molecular Diagnostic Methods in Identification of B. pseudomallei , Journal of Clincial Microbiology, March 2009, p 1578-1580. Burkholderia pseudomallei Misidentified by Automated System , Emerging Infectious 37 Diseases, Nov 2009, p 1799-1801.

  38. Nebraska Challenge Set 2012  Next shipment date – July 16  Automatic Enrollment for 2013  BT Training needed? 38

  39. APHL On Demand Course Bioterrorism Preparedness Training for LRN Sentinel Laboratories • Description • Each of these Intermediate-level, interactive online course modules review a component of the Laboratory Response Network (LRN) protocols for bioterrorism agent identification. The modules include case studies, real-life laboratory scenarios and links to resource information. Course materials may be used as part of a laboratory’s competency assessment program for terrorism preparedness. Updated for 2012, seven course modules are available, including: • · Anthrax (Bacillus anthracis) • · Brucella (Brucella spp) • · Burkholderia (Burkholderia spp) • · Plague (Yersinia pestis) • · Tularemia (Francisella tularensis) • · Laboratory Biosecurity 39 • · The Laboratory’s Role in Bioterrorism Preparedness (Laboratory Response Network, LRN)
