2. CBSN: Antimicrobial Resistance Data for Prairies
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
