In Africa, this has important implications for the strategy of PCV introduction because the prevalence of carriage remains high through 9 years of age [ 30– 30].
Methanol has long been proposed as an anode fuel for a fuel cell, chiefly because of its ease of carriage, distribution and manipulation.
And because of common carriage, digital data running over the phone lines has essentially been off limits to the people who laid the lines.
Because of the carriage of erm(C), msr(A), mph(C), aphA3 and sat as well as affiliation to spa type t067, these isolates probably represent an epidemic strain, or a close relative of it, recently described in Spain [64].
9 10 Culture on selective media is very sensitive but also time consuming and it lacks specificity because of possible carriage of non-toxigenic isolates.
This site was studied in particular because of higher carriage prevalence of serogroups X and Y compared with the other two study sites, and because these serogroups had not caused any outbreak in the past in Burkina Faso.
Species will (or will not) speciate more often or go extinct less often because of TE carriage, which is selected for (or against) at that level, just as geographic range or population size might be (Jablonski 2008).
Thus, because of the long duration of carriage of this highly resistant strain, potential for transmission to others is high.
Toddlers are thought to be the engine of transmission because they have a high prevalence of carriage and poor hygiene, but we observed that carriers were equally effective transmitters from birth to 9 years of age.
Finally, because children are the main reservoir of carriage of S. pneumoniae, an age-stratified analysis would be desirable, i.e., a correlation of resistance with antimicrobial use among children.
