It is not clear why KPC- Kp ST258 was not involved in ongoing transmission as seen elsewhere, despite multiple introductions into the institution.
Despite road networks linking affected coastal areas to the mountainous interior, where most of the country's population resides, imported cases have not resulted in ongoing transmission.
This study attempted to determine, by DNA-fingerprinting of M. tuberculosis isolates, to what extent TB trends from 1995 to 2002 were determined by changes in the introduction of new strains and by changes in ongoing transmission.
Results indicate a high level of support from clinicians and public health practitioners for wider access to CT/NG POC tests citing potential benefits, including earlier, more accurate treatment decisions and reductions in ongoing transmission.
For the transmission power of the intruder (P I ), the example of reactive (or responsive) attacker can be used where the intruder looks for ongoing transmissions in order to compose their attack signal (the intruder applies power management to identify the appropriate direction of transmission, power, and timing for its attack) [28].
In this case, in order to prevent the ongoing transmissions of SUs from outage, the spectrum handoff mechanism should be integrated into the DSA protocols.
Some studies have suggested that school-age children are influential in the ongoing transmission of influenza (1, 2 ).
This finding, which might reflect more effective TB control in limiting ongoing transmission, is provocative and merits further investigation.
Nevertheless, considerable proportions of treated individuals are still likely to select for resistance mutations while on antiretroviral treatment, which may result in an ongoing transmission of HIV-1 resistant variants.
Although we cannot be sure that D4-Hamburg is the only virus contributing to the current outbreaks in Serbia and Macedonia, ongoing transmission of D4-Hamburg is indicated by the recent detection of a sporadic case of D4-Hamburg in Switzerland (MVs/Lausanne.CHE/02.11[D4]; this person probably became infected in Serbia) and by an outbreak of >40 cases in Belgium (MVs/Ghent.BEL/09.11/1[D4]).
