Abstract

The Canadian Nosocomial Infection Surveillance Program (CNISP) is a collaborative effort of the Public Health Agency of Canada's Centre for Communicable Diseases and Infection Control, the National Microbiology Laboratory, and 54 largely university-affiliated tertiary care sentinel hospitals in 10 provinces across Canada. To provide a summary of antibiotic resistance rates of four key antibiotic resistant organisms in major hospitals across Canada from January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2012. Patients' clinical and demographic data and associated results of laboratory analyses were submitted to the Agency by participating hospitals. The infection rates were summarized per 1,000 patient admissions at national and regional levels. In Canada, the overall health care-associated Clostridium difficile infection (HA-CDI), HA-CDI rates peaked in 2008 at 5.8 HA-CDI infections per 1,000 patient admissions then remained stable between 2009 and 2012 at approximately 5 HA-CDI infections per 1,000 admissions; the West and Central regions had higher rates than the Eastern region. The rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) peaked in 2009 at 9.5 MRSA infections per 1,000 patient admissions then decreased to 8.8 MRSA infection...Continue Reading
