Abstract Background Hospital waste water systems are an emerging reservoir for CPE. We aimed to describe the prevalence of CPE in hospital drains in southern Ontario, where patients are rarely colonized/infected by CPE. Methods Ten Ontario hospitals identified rooms occupied by CPE+ inpatients from 2007 to 2017. Drain swabs from patient rooms and communal shower rooms were inoculated into BHI + 10% Dey-Engley neutralizing broth and incubated overnight, then PCR on enriched broth for carbapenemase genes as well as culture on McPOD/McMEM were performed.

Though they generally behave very sedately, they react quite quickly when threatened with water. A squirt from the sink induces them to fly away, seemingly unaffected, and flushing the toilet with flies inside does not necessarily whisk them down. We find that drain flies’ remarkable

Wife (1975) is a novel ostensibly about immigration, but it is also about gender, ethnicity, and power. Bharati Mukherjee's well-known essay, "An Invisible Woman" (1981), describes her experience in Canada as one that created "double vision" because her self-perception was put so utterly at odds with her social standing (39). She experienced intense and horrifying racism in Canada, particularly in Toronto, and claims that the setting of Wife, her third novel, is "in the mind of the heroine...always Toronto" (39).
