Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Individual and Population Analysis

35
Mechanistic models are utilized in individual analysis using single-source data, but imperfections arise due to data collection errors, preventing perfect prediction of observed data. The mathematical equation involves known values (Xi), observed concentrations (Ci), measurement errors (εi), model parameters (ϕj), and the related function (ƒi) for i number of values. Different least-squares metrics quantify differences between predicted and observed values. The ordinary least...

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Routine surveillance generates extensive minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) data for bacterial isolates.
  • MIC distributions are crucial for defining antibiotic susceptibility and guiding clinical dosing.
  • Variations in MIC distributions across patient sub-populations may indicate differences in bacterial transmission, infection dynamics, or resistance selection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore variations in MIC distributions across different bacteria and patient sub-groups.
  • To investigate the influence of factors like age, sex, infection type, and time on MIC distributions.
  • To identify potential differences in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) levels among diverse populations.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Vivli AMR register, containing MIC and metadata for numerous bacteria-antibiotic combinations.
  • Applied a generalizable methodology involving multivariate regression analysis.
  • Analyzed data from 7,135,070 samples across four bacterial species.

Main Results:

  • Observed significant differences in MIC distributions across patient sub-groups for specific bacteria-antibiotic pairings.
  • Staphylococcus aureus showed distinct MIC trends by age and infection site, particularly for levofloxacin, with higher resistance in older individuals and males.
  • Detected substantial variations in MIC distributions by WHO region and over time, potentially linked to surveillance practices.

Conclusions:

  • MIC distribution analysis effectively identifies disparities in AMR levels between population sub-groups.
  • The proposed methodology can uncover hidden transmission sources and the impact of antibiotic use in different patient demographics.
  • Findings offer opportunities to enhance antibiotic stewardship programs and interventions, especially at local levels.
