One of my users is interested in escherichia coli and carriers. She is interested in learning about what interventions or treatment should be established for known carriers. In other words whether known carriers should be treated (and what treatment should be offered) and whether it is worth while treating carriers of escherichia coli even though they may not manifest any problems themselves. I have tried locating some material, but have come up with nothing. I can't identify any useful articles on this subject and wondered if anyone knows of any research into this subject or can point me in the right direction to obtain information. Many thanks for your help Jacqueline Jacobs Information Officer/Librarian Stern Primary Care Library & Information Service Ealing Hammersmith & Hounslow Health Authority 1 Armstrong Way Southall, Middx UB2 4SA Tel: 0181 893 0742 email: [log in to unmask] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
