How did transmission to this patient happen? A bacterium, either a susceptible strain which later mutates to gain resistance, or a strain with a resistance-conferring gene, has to somehow arrive to colonise a patient. Symptom-free carriage is likely to occur in many patients before infection. Can we estimate the impact of interventions or the size of transmission using mathematical modelling?
