In contrast to these hypervirulent clones, relatively high rates of serotype 1 asymptomatic carriage have been reported in a number of communities following vaccination with the 7-valent conjugate vaccine [7], [8].
For many decades the law governing the international carriage of goods by railway has been codified in a number of international conventions.
It has been noted in a number of studies that carriage of the 223R allele of the leptin receptor gene was associated with a high level of circulating leptin and reduced sensitivity of the leptin receptor [ 30, 32, 36] as well as increased BMI [ 36, 38, 39].
Posterior predictive simulations were used to quantify transmission patterns within day care cohorts, to estimate the basic reproduction number for pneumococcal carriage in a population of day care cohorts, and to assess the critical vaccine efficacy against carriage to eliminate pneumococcal transmission.
PCV10 has been shown to be immunogenic in a number of primary and booster vaccination studies [ 71– 75], and also to reduce vaccine-type pneumococcal carriage [ 76].
One previous study has investigated genetic changes in the progression from carriage to disease in S. aureus, in which a number of mutations were identified including a premature stop codon in an AraC family transcriptional regulator (AFTR) which potentially altered the virulence of the invasive isolate (Young et al, 2012).
Finally, to our knowledge, this is first report of C. dubliniensis isolation and oral carriage in a Sri Lankan cohort.
To determine the prevalence of carriage of respiratory bacterial pathogens, and the risk factors for and serotype distribution of pneumococcal carriage in an Australian Aboriginal population.
The flow of vehicles on a route can be limited by the number of vehicles available to the operator: this is an economic constraint on vehicle capacity, which also affects the number of carriages in a train and therefore passenger capacity [5.1 8].
Technologically, we stand to become a nation of horse-drawn carriages in an era of automobiles.
