Antimicrobial Resistance and Nosocomial Infections

Welcome to the Antimicrobial Resistance and Nosocomial Infections(ARNI) Laboratory Web site.
Since its inception in 1996, this unit has provided reference services to medical and research laboratories across Canada. The ARNI laboratory also participates in numerous national and international surveillance programs, and is involved in research projects focused on antimicrobial resistance. Over the last few years, our group has also been involved in numerous projects related to the rapid detection and characterization of agents of bioterrorism.

This web site describes our past, current and future activities. Please enjoy exploring our activities and information contained in this site. I look forward to hearing your comments and suggestions about how we can improve this site and better serve you.
