…monitoring trends in antimicrobial resistance in Canada

CBSN: Antimicrobial Resistance Data for Ontario Source of Data A sample of clinical laboratories serving Canadian hospitals and communities voluntarily submit bacterial isolates to CBSN Microbroth dilution testing is performed at Mount Sinai Hospital Laboratory CLISI published cutpoints are used to convert minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values into sensitive (S), intermediate (I) and resistant (R) categories for each antibiotic tested Data is entered into a central data base - some elements of which are currently available on-line at http://microbiology.mtsinai.on.ca Canadian Bacterial Surveillance Network, March 2006
