A throat swab from a 9 year old girl with pharyngitis yielded a non-toxigenic strain of Corynebacterium diphtheriae var mitis and Streptococcus group G. C pseudodiphtheriticum was isolated from the throats of two of her four brothers. In each case the isolate was sent to the reference laboratory before full identification. The growth was found to be mixed for one brother; the other isolate being a toxin producing C diphtheriae var gravis. The child was asymptomatic and the case proves that all colonial types on the Hoyles plate should be identified.
一名患有咽炎的9岁女孩的咽拭子培养出了一株无毒力的轻型白喉棒状杆菌变种和G群链球菌。在她的四个兄弟中,有两个从喉咙中分离出了假白喉棒状杆菌。在每种情况下,分离株在进行全面鉴定之前都被送往了参考实验室。发现其中一个兄弟的培养物生长物是混合的;另一个分离株是产毒素的重型白喉棒状杆菌变种。该儿童没有症状,这个病例证明霍伊尔斯平板上的所有菌落类型都应进行鉴定。
