- W4200525366 abstract "Abstract Background Coxiella burnetii and Brucella spp. are zoonotic bacterial pathogens responsible for Q fever and Brucellosis, respectively. Both pathogens have a global distribution and Brucellosis is the most common zoonosis in the world. However, the CDC reports only 80-120 cases of human brucellosis and ~150 cases of acute Q fever annually. The diagnosis of these infections can be limited by: (1) their difficulty to culture; (2) the insensitivity and nonspecificity of serology; (3) the clinical overlap with other infections; and (4) the unreliability of epidemiological exposure history for these zoonoses. Unbiased microbial cell free DNA (mcfDNA) next-generation sequencing (NGS) offers a potential solution to overcome these limitations. Methods The Karius TestTM (KT) developed and validated in Karius’s CLIA certified/CAP accredited lab in Redwood City, CA detects mcfDNA in plasma. After mcfDNA is extracted and NGS performed, human reads are removed, and remaining sequences are aligned to a curated database of > 1500 organisms. McfDNA from organisms present above a statistical threshold are reported and quantified in molecules/µL (MPM). KT detections of Coxiella and Brucella were reviewed from August 2017 - present; clinical information was obtained with test requisition or consultation upon result reporting. Results KT detected 8 cases of Coxiella burnetii (1735 MPM +/- 3000) and 5 cases of Brucella melitensis (avg 296 MPM +/- 223) (Table 1), representing approximately 1-2% of all detections in the US during this period. All of the Coxiella detections were in adults (100% male) with 5 cases of fever of unknown origin, 2 cases of culture-negative endocarditis and one case of endovascular graft infection. Brucella detections occurred in 3 adults and 2 children (60% male), 3 with exposure to unpasteurized dairy and included 3 cases of spine infection (2 vertebral osteomyelitis, 1 epidural abscess). Conclusion Open-ended, plasma-based mcfDNA NGS provides a rapid, non-invasive test to diagnose diverse clinical manifestations of zoonotic infections such as Q fever and Brucellosis against competing broad differential diagnoses. Furthermore, these cases highlight the potential of the KT to diagnose infections caused by fastidious/unculturable pathogens with cryptic clinical presentations. Disclosures Nicholas R.
