Few studies have evaluated the health consequences of antimicrobial-resistant Salmonella strains associated with outbreaks. Among 32 outbreaks occurring in the United States from 1984 to 2002, 22 % of 13,286 persons in 10 Salmonella-resistant outbreaks were hospitalized, com-pared with 8 % of 2

Antimicrobial resistance is a rapidlyemerging global problem.1 In Canada we have so far been spared the scourge of many of the important mul-tidrug-resistant pathogens that have had such an impact on health care in other countries. Un-fortunately, this happy circumstance is about to come to an end

Recommendations for future collaboration between the US and EU

resistance and bacterial density ‘One Health ’ requires ‘one language’ (Ismail 2012), and this applies to antimicrobial resistance, where there is progress on standardising procedures (eg, european Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing [eUCAST]). However, most methods measure resistance

The search for the means to understand and control the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance has become a public health priority. Project ICARE (Intensive Care Antimicrobial Resistance Epidemiology) has established laboratory-based surveillance for antimicrobial resistance
