As it has been demonstrated that significant interactions can occur between bacterial species and between bacteria and viruses, and that these can affect the carriage rates of a given infectious agent [ 20], it can be hypothesised that the age-related differences in pharyngeal S. aureus colonisation rates may be due to time-related variations in bacterial balance in different body sites.
