A total of 1,044 nose and throat swabs and 54 ear swabs were collected from 219 Aboriginal babies in Brisbane and at Cherbourg over a two-and-a-half year period. The incidence of Staphylococcus aureus was found to be similar for both localities (approximately 20% in nasal swabs and 12% in throat swabs). Enterobacteria were found much more commonly at Cherbourg (43% in nasal swabs, 60% in throat swabs). Fifty-four ear swabs produced a wide variety of organisms with proteus species most common. Changes in the nose and throat flora over the period of examination are noted.
在两年半的时间里，从布里斯班和切尔伯格的219名原住民婴儿身上共采集了1044份鼻拭子和咽拭子以及54份耳拭子。发现金黄色葡萄球菌在两个地区的发病率相似（鼻拭子中约为20%，咽拭子中约为12%）。在切尔伯格，肠杆菌更为常见（鼻拭子中为43%，咽拭子中为60%）。54份耳拭子培养出了多种微生物，其中变形杆菌最为常见。记录了检查期间鼻和咽喉菌群的变化。
