We have also shown that the same genotypes were found among carriers and patients and that increased carriage of virulent clones was closely associated with increased disease incidence.
Inflammatory bowel disease is associated with an increased carriage of adherent and haemolytic Escherichia coli in the intestinal microflora.
There is an increasing realisation that reducing the use of fluoroquinolones and third-generation cephalosporins (which have been associated with increased carriage of MRSA) in patient populations where MRSA is prevalent can be a useful control measure.
Hyatt said there was no discussion at the lunch about increasing carriage costs, the fees cable and satellite providers pay networks to include them in their programming roster.
This fitness may be expressed either as increased carriage duration or as higher transmissibility.
Both active smoking in adults and passive exposure to cigarette smoke in children is associated with increased carriage of pathogenic organisms in the upper airways [3].
Extensive use of broad-spectrum antibiotics in hospitalized patients has led to both increased carriage of Klebsiella and, subsequently, the development of multidrug-resistant strains that produce extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) [1].
There was evidence of increased carriage of non-PCV13 serotypes.
Among adults there was a trend of increasing carriage with increasing age (Table 1).
The reason for increased carriage in older adults is not clear.
