Canada's 2025 AMR priority pathogens: Evidence-based ranking and public health implications.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health threat that undermines the effectiveness of treatments and the sustainability of health systems. In 2015, Canada published its first AMR pathogen prioritization list, which laid the foundation for the Canadian Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System (CARSS). Since then, evolving resistance patterns, newly emerging pathogens, and enhanced surveillance capacity have prompted a comprehensive update to identify the most pressing AMR threats in the Canadian context.

Objective

To undertake a systematic and reproducible prioritization process, leveraging nationally representative Canadian data, and to identify the most pressing AMR threats. This risk prioritization aims to inform surveillance strategies, whic
