BACKGROUND Necrotizing soft-tissue infections (NSTIs) are life threatening, requiring broad-spectrum antibiotics. Their aetiological diagnosis can be limited by poor performance of cultures and administration of antibiotics before surgery. OBJECTIVES We aimed (i) to compare 16S-targeted metagenomics (TM) and unbiased semiquantitative panmicroorganism DNA- and RNA-based shotgun metagenomics (SM) with cultures, (ii) to identify patients who would best benefit from metagenomics approaches and (iii) to detect the microbial pathogens in surrounding non-necrotic 'healthy' tissues by SM-based methods. METHODS A prospective observational study was performed to assess the analytical performance of standard cultures, TM and SM on tissues from 34 patients with NSTIs. Pathogen identification obtained with these three methods was compared. RESULTS Thirty-four necrotic and 10 healthy tissues were collected from 34 patients. The performance of TM was inferior to that of the other methods (P < 0·05), whereas SM performed better than standard culture, although the result was not statistically significant (P = 0·08). SM was significantly more sensitive than TM for the detection of all bacteria (P = 0·02) and more sensitive than standard culture for the detection of anaerobic bacteria (P < 0·01). There was a strong correlation (r = 0·71, Spearman correlation coefficient) between the semiquantitative abundance of bacteria in the culture and the bacteria-to-human sequence ratio in SM. Low amounts of bacterial DNA were found in healthy tissues, suggesting a bacterial continuum between macroscopically 'healthy' and necrotic tissue. CONCLUSIONS SM showed a significantly better ability to detect a broader range of pathogens than TM and identify strict anaerobes than standard culture. Patients with diabetes with NSTIs appeared to benefit most from SM. Finally, our results suggest a bacterial continuum between macroscopically 'healthy' non-necrotic areas and necrotic tissues. What's already known about this topic? Necrotizing soft-tissue infections (NSTIs) are characterized by rapidly progressive necrosis of subcutaneous tissues and high mortality, despite surgical debridement combined with broad-spectrum antibiotics. The spectrum of potentially involved pathogens is very large, and identification is often limited by the poor performance of standard cultures, which may be impaired by previous antibiotic intake. Metagenomics-based approaches show promise for better identification of the pathogens that cause these infections, but they have not been evaluated in this medical context. What does this study add? Shotgun metagenomics (SM) showed higher sensitivity than 16S rRNA gene sequencing and a better ability than culture to detect anaerobic bacteria. As a result, a significant proportion of infections with bacteria, such as Pasteurella multocida or Clostridium perfringens, were detected only by SM. SM bacterial quantification enabled better detection of low amounts of bacterial DNA from macroscopically 'healthy' tissue, suggesting a subclinical infectious extension. What is the translational message? The high analytical performance of SM shown in this study should allow its future implementation for the diagnosis of necrotizing fasciitis, complementing or replacing routine methods. The large amount of data, including additional information on antimicrobial resistance, virulence profiles and metabolic adaptation of the pathogens, will improve microbiological documentation. Our results will improve our understanding of infectious pathophysiology in the future, leading to potentially better medical care.

Background Epidermal necrolysis (EN) is a rare and life-threatening condition. Objectives To assess whether admitting hospital characteristics and interhospital transfer are associated with mortality due to EN. Methods We studied the French nationwide hospital discharge database (retrospective national cohort). All patients admitted during 2012-2016 with a code for EN in the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, were eligible. We extracted data on the patients (age, sex, intensive care unit admission, comorbidities) and hospitals (private proprietary vs. public, nonteaching or teaching; and number of admissions for EN as a proxy for experience). Multivariable analysis was used to identify independent predictors of in-hospital mortality with mixed logistic regression. Results We identified 991 patients (467 male; mean age 52·7 ± 23 years). They were admitted to 300 different hospitals, including teaching hospitals (25% of hospitals) for around half of the patients. Overall, 597 patients (60%) had a diagnosis of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), 171 (17%) had SJS/toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) overlap and 223 (23%) had TEN. In total, 109 (11%) patients died: nine (2%) with SJS, 26 (15%) with SJS/TEN overlap and 74 (33%) with TEN. The in-hospital mortality rate was lower in centres with vs. without substantial EN experience - odds ratio for one supplemental EN admission in a department 0·5 (95% confidence interval 0·3-1·0); P = 0·05 - even after adjusting for potentially relevant individual risk factors. We found no significant association between mortality and interhospital transfer. Conclusions Our findings highlight increased survival of patients with EN in centres with a high volume of EN procedures. If confirmed in other settings, these findings reinforce the importance of expertise in early diagnosis and management of this condition. What's already known about this topic? Epidermal necrolysis (EN) is a rare and life-threatening condition. At the individual level, risk factors for in-hospital mortality have been identified. Few studies have examined the association between hospital characteristics and EN mortality, with special attention to referral hospitals. What does this study add? Short-term mortality rates were lower for patients in centres with EN experience than in centres without EN experience, after adjusting for known risk factors. We found no association between interhospital transfer and survival. If confirmed in other settings, these findings support the early transfer of patients with suspected or diagnosed EN to centres with experience, where a multidisciplinary approach can be implemented by experienced healthcare professionals, to maximize short-term survival.
