Most common serovars were those representing 2% or more of the isolates within each surveillance component and animal species. For the purpose of this table, S. Typhimurium var. 5- results were combined with S. Typhimurium results to harmonize serovar classification with that of the National Microbiology Laboratory.

Results for each of the above specific patterns exclude isolates resistant to one of the other patterns presented in this table but may include isolates resistant to other antimicrobials. Blank cells represent values equal to zero (0%).

For the purpose of this table, S. Typhimurium var. 5- results were combined with S. Typhimurium results to harmonize serovar classification with that of the National Microbiology Laboratory.

Results in the grey-shaded areas indicate isolates that were recovered but not submitted for antimicrobial susceptibility testing.

No human data are available for Salmonella isolates because no recovery information on samples was provided to CIPARS. The Maritimes region includes New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island.
