Microbiology. It is important to understand the environmental niche of where the organisms causing CLABSI are found, including colonization on skin, to put the question of which organism groups may be responsible for early or late infections into context. A list of organisms that are responsible for CLABSIs includes coagulase-negative staphylococci, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus species, Candida species, and gram negative bacteria. Of these listed, coagulase-negative staphylococci and S. aureus account for 20.5% and 12.3% of reported CLABSIs in the NHSN data from 2009-2010 (34). Enterococcus and Candida species were also commonly attributed with 18.1% and 14.6% of infections (34). Gram-negative organisms were responsible for approximately 25% of infections (34). As previously stated, skin organisms are more likely to be responsible for extraluminal, early line infections. Of the organisms that commonly cause CLABSIs, the ones that commonly are found on the skin include coagulase-negative staphylococci, S. aureus, and less commonly Candida species (12). Coagulase negative staphylococci are found on the skin of all people (14) while S. aureus is found in nasal passages of adults with an estimate carriage of 20% to 40% and are shed to the skin from the nasal reservoir (12, 13). Candida species, or yeasts, are also found on the skin though less common (14, 15). Candida species are more likely on the skin in patients who have been receiving antibiotics, which includes many hospitalized patients. In contrast, those organisms responsible for later infections may be less likely to be skin organism, however, the extent to which catheter hub is colonized from skin organisms is unclear. Enterococci are commonly found in the intestine (16). Gram negative species are also uncommon in skin flora (14). Gram-negative organisms include Klebsiella, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas and Escherichia coli (17). Comparing organisms commonly found on the skin versus those that are not will serve as way to determine if these groups are associated with the time that the CLABSI occurred after insertion of the line. Risk factors for CLABSI Risk factor analysis has been done on CLABSI and is important when determining what effects covariates may have on the predictor and outcome. A risk factor that has been found in studies involves insertion site of the line. One study investigated insertion site by randomly assigning catheters for ICU patients at either the subclavian or the femoral site (21). Th...
Microbiology. The microbiology lab will verify the conditions for growth and the establishment of a viable seed bank to be used in the production of the product. This effort may be in part or wholly combined with Phase II -

Microbiology. Patheon will perform validation of microbial recovery from pharmacopeial articles following USP <1227> guideline and USP Harmonized methods (USP<61> and <62>) on Methylpyrazole. A harmonized specification based on USP<1111> will - [*****] CONFIDENTIAL Patheon Proposal # BNU-FCO1-0401-1107-R0 be followed to meet USP/EP/JP acceptance criteria for pharmaceutical preparations and substances for pharmaceutical use. The validated methods will cover USP, EP and JP compendia for Microbiological Examination of Non-Sterile Products and Antimicrobial Effectiveness Testing (AET). The budget represents four trials for the validation and assumes only [*****] will be evaluated.
Microbiology. The cost allocated to this Service in the Budget Summary of Part B is the per sample price and will vary depending on the number of samples required for method validation. If a worst case scenario approach were taken, the cost would be based upon testing MLT and AET (if applicable) at two dilutions and/or the usage of the largest volume of diluent(s) based on specification. Testing will be done in compliance with the applicable Pharmacopeia (i.e. USP/NF, EP, JP etc.). Client will be billed based on the actual number of samples and replicates required in order to successfully validate the Product.
Microbiology. The Employer and the Union acknowledge that the nature of the work performed in Microbiology may necessitate weekend work. To accommodate regular scheduled Saturday work each employee in Microbiology will have one (1) week per month which will be assigned to employees on a rotating basis as follows: Tuesday to Saturday - 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. For a period of one (1) year after the date of ratification, Microbiology employees will be scheduled on a rotating basis to work Sundays. The process of determining the schedule will involve the affected employees. The necessity for Sunday work will be re-evaluated at the end of the one (1) year period and may be extended by mutual agreement. The re-evaluation will include all Microbiology-related work that the Employer requires to be performed on Sunday.
