(2008-1-1)
BACKGROUND: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are important hospital pathogens in Canada and ...
Analysis of 1560 Inpatient and Outpatient Escherichia coli Isolates from across Canada—Results from the CANWARD 2007 Study
(2009-1-1)
OBJECTIVES: Escherichia coli was the most common pathogen isolated
in the Canadian Ward Surveillance Study (CANWARD 2007)
and remains one of the most common pathogens isolated in all health
care settings. An in-depth ...
Differences in Antimicrobial Susceptibility in Escherichia coli from Canadian Intensive Care Units Based on Regional and Demographic Variables
(2008-1-1)
