Abstract Objectives The CANWARD surveillance study was established in 2007 to annually assess the vitro susceptibilities of a variety antimicrobial agents against bacterial pathogens isolated from patients receiving care Canadian hospitals. Methods 42 936 were received and CLSI broth microdilution testing performed on 37 355 isolates. Limited patient demographic data submitted with each isolate collated analysed. Results Of isolates tested, 43.5%, 33.1%, 13.2% 10.2% blood, respiratory, urine...
A resurgence of syphilis infections has been described in a number countries including Canada the last decade.This study identified polymerase chain reaction (PCR) positive cases based on detection Treponema pallidum genes (polA, tpp47, and bmp) 3,350 clinical specimens obtained from patients province Manitoba, between 2017 2020. Patient demographics were specimen requisition forms.PCR 740 cases: 718 adolescents adults, while 22 congenital cases. For non-congenital investigation, with...
