The Canadian Nosocomial Infection Surveillance Program (CNISP)
Healthcare-associated Infection (HAI) & Antimicrobial Resistant Organism (ARO) data
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR): healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and Antimicrobial Resistant Organisms (AROs) pose serious threats to the health of Canadians due to increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare burden and cost.

- Antimicrobial Resistant Organisms and Healthcare-associated Infections
- Device and surgical procedure-related infections
These data summarize our annual Canada Communicable Disease Report (CCDR) publications:
- Healthcare-associated infections and antimicrobial resistance in Canadian acute care hospitals, 2016–2020
- Device and surgical procedure-related infections in Canadian acute-care hospitals from 2011 to 2020
