Abstract Short-read genome assemblies typically consist of many contigs variable lengths and their putative connections represented as an assembly graph. Assembly graphs produced by different tools from the same data may differ significantly, posing a challenge to for downstream processing tasks. One such task is plasmid binning, that identifying plasmids in sequenced bacterial isolates, which crucial monitoring spread antimicrobial resistance. When binning are applied tools, they exhibit...
Abstract BACKGROUND: Canadian and US studies suggest that the organisms responsible for early-onset neonatal sepsis (EONS) are changing, with an increase in Escherichia coli (EC) as well antibiotic-resistant organisms. Current guidelines prevention treatment of EONS based on Group B streptococcus (GBS) likely organism. Population-level data may inform updates to these national strategies. OBJECTIVES: To determine incidence, types corresponding resistance patterns involved Canada. identify...
Abstract BACKGROUND: In Canada the incidence of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is estimated to be 1 in 100 live births. FASD leading cause developmental and cognitive disabilities Canada. No study has examined cost parents/caregivers raising a child with OBJECTIVES: To calculate an estimate direct indirect costs associated at patient level. DESIGN/METHODS: Cross-sectional design was used. Two-hundred thirty (230) participants completed tool. Participants included caregivers children...
