Viable counts of beta-haemolytic streptococci per ml. of saliva were made in the following groups: (1) children with acute streptococcal sore throat, (2) children with acute non-streptococcal sore throat, (3) children who had no sore throat but were streptococcal throat carriers, (4) children who neither had a sore throat nor were streptococcal throat carriers.The mean counts from cases of streptococcal sore throat and from streptococcal carriers were respectively 1.4 x 10(6) and 2.5 x 10(5) per ml.In a comparison of the efficiency of the throat swab, sublingual swab and specimen of saliva in isolating beta-haemolytic streptococci from the upper respiratory tract, culture of saliva produced the best results.
对以下几组人群每毫升唾液中的β-溶血性链球菌活菌数进行了计数:(1)患有急性链球菌性咽喉炎的儿童;(2)患有急性非链球菌性咽喉炎的儿童;(3)没有咽喉炎但为链球菌咽部携带者的儿童;(4)既没有咽喉炎也不是链球菌咽部携带者的儿童。链球菌性咽喉炎病例和链球菌携带者的平均计数分别为每毫升1.4×10⁶和2.5×10⁵。在比较咽拭子、舌下拭子和唾液标本从上呼吸道分离β-溶血性链球菌的效率时,唾液培养产生的结果最佳。
