Molecular epidemiology and in silico prediction of ciprofloxacin resistance in <i>Salmonella enterica</i> in Canada, 2017–2022 Open
Ciprofloxacin is important for treatment of severe or invasive Salmonella infections in humans. As laboratories transition from phenotypic to genomics-based methods for determining ciprofloxacin non-susceptibility, it is important to defin…

Effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical interventions to reduce SARS-CoV-2 transmission in Canada and their association with COVID-19 hospitalization rates Open
These results suggest that NPIs have been effective in Canadian provinces, and that their implementation has been, in part, a response to increasing hospitalization rates of COVID-19 patients.

A One Health Genomic Investigation of Gentamicin Resistance in Escherichia coli from Human and Chicken Sources in Canada, 2014 to 2017 Open
We investigated whether gentamicin resistance (Gen r ) in Escherichia coli isolates from human infections was related to Gen r E. coli in chicken and whether resistance may be due to coselection from use of lincomycin-spectinomycin in chic…

View article: One Health Genomic Analysis of Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase‒Producing <i>Salmonella enterica</i>, Canada, 2012‒2016
One Health Genomic Analysis of Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase‒Producing <i>Salmonella enterica</i>, Canada, 2012‒2016 Open
Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) confer resistance to extended-spectrum cephalosporins, a major class of clinical antimicrobial drugs. We used genomic analysis to investigate whether domestic food animals, retail meat, and pets were …

Correlation between Phenotypic and In Silico Detection of Antimicrobial Resistance in Salmonella enterica in Canada Using Staramr Open
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) of Salmonella supports both molecular typing and detection of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Here, we evaluated the correlation between phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) and in silico pred…
