Canadian Integrated Program for Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance (CIPARS) Poultry
Share:
CIPARS surveillance for AMR in chicken occurs at farms, abattoirs (cecal samples) and from retail meat. On broiler chicken farm, flocks are selected from BC, AB, SK, ON and QC. Samples are taken at chick placement and at age greater than 30 days. Sampling for AMR in turkeys occurs at farms and from retail meat. On turkey farms, samples are collected from BC, ON and QC. Samples are collected during the last week of growth once per year. Recovery of Campylobacter from ground Turkey was stopped mid-2016 due to low prevalence and to free up lab capacity. Poultry samples are e cultured for Salmonella, E. coli, and Campylobacter. Samples positive for Salmonella or E. coli had isolates tested for resistance to Aminoglycosides, Beta-Lactams, Folate pathway inhibitors, Macrolides, Phenicols, Quinolones, and Tetracyclines. Samples positive for Campylobacter had isolates tested for resistance to Aminoglycosides, Ketolides, Lincosamides, Macrolides, Phenicols, Quinolones, and Tetracyclines.
