When he visited again for the recent Auckland Writers Festival, more than 30 years on, I wanted to discuss with the writer who has personally always reminded me how to stay connected to my roots, how we resist colonisation while existing in a colonised country.
As the sensitivity of VRE detection is likely to be related to bacterial density, it is likely that detection of VRE in screening is the product of two processes, that of new acquisition of VRE (whether by endogenous generation or exogenous exposure) and amplification of existing low level colonisation by antibiotics [ 34].
For bronchiectasis, date of diagnosis, underlying related systemic disease, tobacco consumption and pre-existing bacteriologic colonisation were collected.
6 9 Numerous risk factors for candidaemia have been identified in NICU patients such as immature skin structure, 10 prolonged use of antimicrobials, 11 indwelling central venous catheters, 12 hyperalimentation, 13 mechanical ventilation, 11 surgery 14 or pre-existing fungal colonisation.
Thus our findings of co-colonisation are consistent with existing literature.
Such creation should aim to link and expand existing ancient semi-natural woodland blocks to maximise colonisation by wildlife and to facilitate sustainable management (bringing life-giving light into woodland that is so important to a wide diversity of woodland flowers, butterflies and much else).
For those species for which the climate of a region is becoming more suitable, existing PAs are likely to offer prime sites for colonisation and thus 'bridgeheads' for range extension.
The Demos researchers looked at four possible scenarios for the future: (1) migration eastwards to the Olympic Park; (2) "upgrade" (stay put but address existing problems and complaints – eg about connectivity, skills gaps and muddled government policy); (3) colonisation of the area by the financial services industry; and (4) decline.
This is most obvious in the case of the age of U6b1, suggesting that either the first settlement of the Canary Archipelago was earlier than the (admittedly weak) existing archaeological evidence indicates [ 21] or that U6b1 had already arisen prior to colonisation and has since drifted to extinction in the northwest African source, or at least has yet to be sampled.
The ST80 carriership in this family led to ST80 colonisation of the second child at birth and SSTI by ST80 in another adult relative of this family, without existing household membership.
