Bacteriological monitoring of penicillin therapy in 30 children with streptococcal sore throats was performed by means of salivary and throat-swab culture, on the first, third, fifth and ninth days after therapy had started. Counts of beta-haemolytic streptococci per ml. of saliva were also performed.Results showed that salivary culture and estimation of the numbers of beta-haemolytic streptococci in the saliva were much more sensitive indices of the effectiveness of penicillin treatment than throat-swab culture.
对30名患有链球菌性咽喉炎的儿童进行青霉素治疗时,在治疗开始后的第一天、第三天、第五天和第九天,通过唾液和咽拭子培养进行细菌学监测。还对每毫升唾液中的β-溶血性链球菌进行计数。结果表明,与咽拭子培养相比,唾液培养以及唾液中β-溶血性链球菌数量的评估是青霉素治疗效果更敏感的指标。
