WRITTEN QUESTION 11-17(5): PREVALENCE OF ‘SUPERBUG’ BACTERIAL INFECTIONS

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have two sets of written questions here today.

My questions are for the Minister of Health and Social Services.

Please provide the total number of cases for 10,000 patients for the following superbugs for each calendar year starting from 2005 through 2013:

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA);

Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE);

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE);

Klebsiella;

Acinetobacter;

Enterobacter;

Pseudomonas; and

Clostridium difficile.

What is the regional breakdown of the number of cases per 10,000 patients for the list of superbugs listed in question 1 for the same time period?
