This paper summarizes the most recent Invasive Bacterial Diseases (IBD) Working Group meeting of the International Circumpolar Surveillance (ICS) project. The ICS is a population-based surveillance network for invasive bacterial diseases that provides a mechanism to determine changes in incidence rates and antimicrobial resistance. The meeting took place in Montreal, Canada on February 12-13, 2014. Data were included from participating Canadian provincial and territorial jurisdictions as well as from the State of Alaska. This report is based on the audio records of the meeting as well as the meeting presentations. The ICS IBD Working Group focuses on invasive diseases caused by: (Sp), (Nm), (Hi), Group A Streptococcus (GAS) and Group B Streptococcus (GBS). Data on invasive disease caused by each of these organisms were reviewed through December 2012-2013. Although the incidence of some of these vaccine-preventable invasive diseases has decreased, emergence of serotype a (Hia) in both Alaska and Northern Canada was noted. An interlaboratory quality control (QC) program is ongoing to monitor laboratory proficiencies for serotyping.
本文总结了国际环北极监测(ICS)项目侵袭性细菌疾病(IBD)工作组的最新会议情况。ICS是一个基于人群的侵袭性细菌疾病监测网络,为确定发病率和抗菌药物耐药性的变化提供了一种机制。该会议于2014年2月12日至13日在加拿大蒙特利尔举行。数据包括来自加拿大各参与省份和地区司法管辖区以及阿拉斯加州的数据。本报告基于会议的音频记录以及会议展示内容。ICS IBD工作组关注由以下病菌引起的侵袭性疾病:肺炎链球菌(Sp)、脑膜炎奈瑟菌(Nm)、流感嗜血杆菌(Hi)、A组链球菌(GAS)和B组链球菌(GBS)。对2012年12月至2013年期间由这些病菌各自引起的侵袭性疾病数据进行了审查。尽管其中一些可通过疫苗预防的侵袭性疾病发病率有所下降,但在阿拉斯加和加拿大北部均发现了a型流感嗜血杆菌(Hia)血清型的出现。一项实验室间质量控制(QC)计划正在进行中,以监测血清分型的实验室能力。
