Carriage of the GAS strain was common and widespread following a single fatal case of invasive GAS disease at the child-care center. Risk factors for GAS T-1 carriage did not identify all carriers. Our findings suggest that widespread culturing is needed to identify all potential carriers. The role of prophylactic antibiotic administration in preventing secondary cases could not be determined.
