CIPARS generates an annual report summarizing the main antimicrobial resistance findings from all of CIPARS components. The annual report also integrates information related to human consumption of antimicrobials. In an effort to deliver the information in a timely fashion, CIPARS now posts an annual preliminary report containing antimicrobial results available at the time of analysis. CIPARS also posts web-based ad-hoc reports highlighting issues on antimicrobial resistance and/or antimicrobial consumption.
CIPARS provides prevalence of antimicrobial resistance to
individual antimicrobials; information related to antimicrobial
resistance patterns and multiple drug resistance, and recovery
rates for its active components and serotypes distribution.
Resistance results are presented according to the Health Canada Veterinary Drug Directorate classification of antimicrobial drugs
based on their importance in human medicine. Drug consumption
data are interpreted in collaboration with the Canadian Committee on
Antimicrobial Resistance (CCAR)
. When appropriate, CIPARS integrates data from various sources in order to explore
relationships between antimicrobial resistance in isolates from
Canada's agri-food sector and human sectors.
CIPARS results are useful to a broad variety of stakeholders and
end-users, including the Veterinary Drugs Directorate, and Food
Directorate's Bureau of Microbial Hazards , and the Canadian Food Inspection
Agency
. Drug use information has
been useful to provincial groups as well.
