TL;DR: Analytical sensitivities were equivalent between LDTs and most commercially available methods, and some commercially available real-time RT-PCR assays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotic susceptibility and molecular analysis of invasive Haemophilus influenzae in Canada, 2007 to 2014.

TL;DR: A significant increase in β-lactamase-producing isolates was observed from 2007 to 2014; the rate of significant PBP3 mutations has increased since previously reported and 52.5% of non-typeable H. influenzae now show resistance markers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Canadian recommendations for laboratory interpretation of multiple or extensive drug resistance in clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae, Acinetobacter species and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

TL;DR: This is the final edition of the interim recommendations, which were modified after one year of broad consultative review and represents a consensus of peer-reviewed information.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interim Recommendations for the Reporting of Extensively Drug Resistant and Pan Drug Resistant Isolates of Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter spp. and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.
