9am: "An Update on COVID-19" by Dr. Eric Coomes

9:45am: "Will we have a vaccine for COVID-19?" by Dr. Rob Kozak

We thank you for your understanding and apologize for the last minute cancellation. /2 of 2

[TIBDN @TIBDN]

We agree that non-essential large group meetings should be cancelled, so the in-person part of tomorrow's Education Day is cancelled. We thought people would be most interested in the #COVID19 talks, so they will still be webcast at https://t.co/7h1Uj60A8F. /1 of 2

[Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology @ICHEJournal]

A new ICHE article reporting infection prevention and control practices for carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae at acute care hospitals in Ontario, Canada

Read the full article here: https://t.co/cYgLvPiwdI

[TIBDN @TIBDN]

Dr. Cheryl Volling will present on "Development of a tool to assess the evidence that hospital sinks are a reservoir for gram-negative bacterial infection" @AMMICanada today at 3.25PM.

[TIBDN @TIBDN]

@AlainnaJJ will be presenting @AMMICanada Session D04 "Carbapenemase-producing enterobacteriaceae (CPE) in household contacts and household environments of CPE-colonized/infected persons"

[TIBDN @TIBDN]

Don't miss Dr. Allison McGeer today @AMMICanada with our poster " Epidemiology of Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) in South-Central Ontario"

[TIBDN @TIBDN]

@dr_lfarooqi is presenting our posters @AMMICanada " Duration of colonization with Carbapenemase-producing Enterbacteriaceae (CPE): a population-based study".

[TIBDN @TIBDN]

Dr. McGeer: from the lit, seems like patient-patient transmission more important than water enviros in hosp for CPE transmission...but sink-related outbreaks not trivial; 8 Ontario hospitals have had sink-related CPE outbreaks to date

@AlainnaJJ Kitchen sink drain has highest proportion of CPE positive samples. 80% Surfaces never tested positive. Positive surface enterobacter growth more likely than Kleb.

[TIBDN @TIBDN]

@AlainnaJJ prospective cohort study 97 household participated. 179 HH contacts. 9% probability of a HH contact to the index case becoming positive.

@AlainnaJJ Characteristics of CPE +ves HHC share bathroom, spouse, older

[TIBDN @TIBDN]

11% colonized patients had a clinical isolate.

[TIBDN @TIBDN]

Risk Factors for patients with CPE. Chart review and patient interview and clinical isolates. 790 cases - 337 were colonized only no clinical isolate.

[TIBDN @TIBDN]

Factors associated with a clinical isolate.

Updates from CPE CIHR surveillance study from Dr. Zhong, @AlainnaJJ Dr. Farooqi and Dr. Faheem

[TIBDN @TIBDN]

@AlainnaJJ CPE infection rate 1.5 per 100,000 of population in Toronto/Peel region.

[TIBDN @TIBDN]

@AlainnaJJ 40% patients hospitalized only in Canada.

[TIBDN @TIBDN]

@AlainnaJJ Patients colonized in GTA 2007 = 1 case. 2019 = 790 most common gene type NDM.
