The present study is undertaken on 50 tonsillectomy cases to determine the correlation between surface culture swabs and tonsillar core. Tonsillar disease may stem from the bacteria within the core of the tonsil, rather than the bacteria identified on its surface. Also no consistent pattern of combinations of different pathogenic bacteria was noted. The study proves that surface culture does not reliably predict core pathogens.
本研究对50例扁桃体切除术病例进行，以确定表面培养拭子与扁桃体核心之间的相关性。扁桃体疾病可能源于扁桃体核心内的细菌，而非其表面所鉴定出的细菌。此外，未观察到不同病原菌组合的一致模式。该研究证明表面培养不能可靠地预测核心病原体。
