Background of International Validation Study on Blood Bacteria Standards:Why do we need a panel of transfusion-relevant bacteria?
Bacterial contamination of PCs 1:2.000 Septic fatalities PCs 1:140.000 Infection Risk in Platelets: bacterial vs viral risk per unit 2 1:10 HCV 3 1:10 HBV 4 1:10 5 HIV 1:10 1:230.000 6 1:10 1:5.000.000 1:5.000.000 2000 1984 1988 1992 1996 2004 2006 according to Mike Busch, modified
Crux in Bacterial Contamination of Blood Components Usually, bacteria are contaminating blood donations in a very low count(10 to 100 CFU per bag corresponding to 0.03 to 0.3 CFU / ml).Thereafter, they can grow up in platelets to 108 to 109 CFU / ml(in dependency on species and strain). Artificial contamination of platelets imitating “real life” conditions:-> contamination with 0.03 CFU / ml-> storage at 22.5 °C under agitation
Kinetic of microbial growth in blood components Objective validation and assessment of methods for improvement of microbial safety of cellular blood components (Screening, Pathogen Reduction) requires: -> defined (growing) strains -> “real life” conditions, i.e. bacteria multiplying in the matrix (acute spiking may produce uncertain results) CFU/ml 1,000,000,000 100,000,000 10,000,000 1,000,000 100,000 10,000 1,000 100 10 1 0.1 bacterial growth curve lag phase 0.03 CFU/ml T0 Blood donation
Growth of different bacteria strains in platelet concentrates
Consequence: The established bacterial reference strains (e.g. from ATCC) are not (automatically) applicable for validation studies regarding methods for improvement of microbial safety of cellular blood components. Decision:Development of PEI Blood Bacteria Standards during the past 10 years
Blood Bacteria Standards (References) are able to growin PCs up to high counts (what is not automatically given in case of reference strains like ATCC strains). • Strains grow up in PCs independent on donor properties (tested for relevant multiplication in PCs from at least 100 different donors). • The standards are deep frozen, ready to use, stable, and shippable (manufactured by a special procedure). • They are defined in count and consist mainly of living cells (as a rule > 95% living cells). • The standards allow “real life” spiking of blood components, i.e. artificial contamination with ~ 10 CFU per bag corresponding to 0.03 CFU per millilitre. • Thus, Blood Bacteria Standards are a feasible tool for objective validation and assessment of methods for screening and pathogen reduction in blood components.
