The Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) management tool provides guidelines for treating CAP among adult patients in Manitoba. The tool integrates antimicrobial stewardship principles for optimizing antibiotic use by incorporating current evidence concerning the choice of drug, dose, delivery method, and duration of therapy for CAP.

What CAN Antibiograms Tell us? Microbiological insights for antimicrobial stewardship
The Canadian Antimicrobial Stewardship Webinars—or ‘CAN AMS!”—is a new webinar series focused on antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) interventions. Leaders in AMS from across Canada share examples of what has been done to implement evidence-based interventions, with the goal to inspire what CAN be done to help slow the rise and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The series aims to:…
Optimizing Antimicrobial Use Through the Respiratory Season in Children
This CAN AMS! webinar explores strategies to optimize antimicrobial use during the respiratory season in children.
CAN AMS! Building an Antimicrobial Stewardship Committee in Long-term Care
This webinar discusses the experiences of two long-term care facilities in Saskatchewan who were each tasked with developing an antimicrobial stewardship committee.
CAN AMS! Three Can-Do Outlooks on AMS
Join this engaging session highlighting opportunities for antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) in human, animal, and environmental health domains. NCCID and AMMI Canada welcome leaders in AMS from across Canada for this launch of the ‘CANAMS!’ series.
Infographic: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureas (MRSA)
This infogrpahic overviews the resistant bacteria, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureas (MRSA). It answers questions about symptoms, treatment and prevention.
Fact Sheet: MRSA in Correctional Facilities and Shelters
This fact sheet overviews the resistant bacteria, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureas (MRSA). MRSA is commonly associated with hospital settings (called health-care associated MRSA or HA-MRSA).
What can routine surveillance data reveal about antibiotic resistance dynamics?
This webinar will address two analyses of routine surveillance data designed to support parameterisation and construction of mechanistic mathematical models of AMR.
Drug Resistant Infections: More Than Meets the Eye
The story is a relatable patient journey through the eyes of a caregiver, with suggestions on what patients can do to self- advocate and partner with healthcare providers to slow the emergence and control the spread of AMR.
Partnering with Community Pharmacists to Fight Antimicrobial Resistance
This case story, along with other stories of ‘joint action for equity’ in the Learning from Practice series, offers insights about how partnerships can begin, what helps them succeed, and where roles or systems can change to improve population health and health equity.
Combating Antimicrobial Resistance: Preserving antibiotics through community stewardship
In this presentation, we examine the successful interventions and outcomes from the Alberta and BC community antimicrobial stewardship programs. We finish with a discussion of next steps in making the case for other provincial community antimicrobial stewardship programs.
Sustaining a Voice for a Silent Public Health Crisis: World Antimicrobial Awareness Week 2022
Antimicrobial Awareness Week (formerly Antibiotic Awareness Week), November 18 – 24, promotes informed, careful use of these life-saving medicines to help keep them working for future generations.
