"CIPARS surveillance for AMR in swine occurs on farm, at abattoir and from retail meat. Farm Samples are collected in BC, AB, SK, ON, and QC. On farm, pooled fecal samples are collected from swine that are close to market weight throughout the year. Samples are cultured for Salmonella and E. coli. Caecal samples collected at abattoirs are cultured for Salmonella, E. coli, and Campylobacter. Retail meat samples are cultured for E. coli and Salmonella. Salmonella are isolated from pork mainly to provide recovery estimates from this commodity for other Public Health Agency of Canada programs. Because the prevalence of Salmonella in pork is low, antimicrobial susceptibility results are not presented on an annual basis but are pooled and presented over a multi-year period in the interest of precision. Recovery of Campylobacter from pork is not attempted because of the low prevalence observed in the initial stages of Retail Meat Surveillance. Samples positive for Salmonella or E. coli are tested for resistance to Aminoglycosides, Beta-Lactams, Folate pathway inhibitors, Macrolides, Phenicols, Quinolones, and Tetracyclines. Samples positive for Campylobacter are tested for resistance to Aminoglycosides, Ketolides, Lincosamides, Macrolides, Phenicols, Quinolones, and Tetracyclines."
