Antimicrobial Susceptibility Results Review Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Susceptibility tests decide which antibiotics are reported as working for a patient's infection, so a wrong result can lead to the wrong treatment. When a batch is read, this agent first checks that the quality control strains fell within their expected ranges. Batches with QC out of range are held and a repeat is requested. It then applies the current breakpoint tables to interpret each MIC or zone result. It looks for unusual or impossible patterns, such as resistance to a drug the organism is naturally susceptible to, or a phenotype that needs confirmation. Flagged isolates are sent for confirmatory tests, and the agent rechecks when results arrive. It also tracks resistance rates over time for the antibiogram. The microbiologist releases results. Edge case: a possible carbapenemase producer is flagged at once for confirmation and an infection control notice.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It releases a batch only when QC is in range, interprets results with current breakpoints, and holds isolates with unusual patterns for confirmation.

  • Hold batches with QC out of range
  • Flag patterns that need confirmation
  • Notify infection control for alert organisms

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Breakpoint standard and version
  • Alert organism list
  • Confirmation test rules
  • Antibiogram period

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Releasing results
  • Infection control notices

Hard limits

  • Never releases results
  • Never changes breakpoint tables

It stops when

  • Done: results released
  • Stop: repeated QC failure; escalate to the lab lead

An example run

What happensA batch of 48 isolates read on April 11 passed QC. One Klebsiella pneumoniae showed a meropenem MIC of 2 mg/L, reduced susceptibility. The plausibility check failed, so the agent held the isolate and ordered a carbapenemase confirmation test. The test came back positive the next day. The agent flagged it for infection control, and the microbiologist released the other 47 results.
