A bacteriologic study was made of 30 patients with peritonsillar abscesses with the use of both aerobic and anaerobic culture procedures. The abscess was punctured and the pus was aspirated by a syringe with an 18-gauge needle. Aerobes and anaerobes were detected in a frequency rate of approximately 1:2. Peptostreptococcus (30.2%), group a streptococci (27.9%), Peptococcus (16.3%), and Fusobacterium (9.3%) were preponderant pathogens. Anaerobic organisms were isolated in 75% of 30 cases. Aside from group A streptococci, anaerobes play a major etiologic role in peritonsillar abscess. Penicillins or cephalosporins will provide maximum chemotherapeutic benefit.
采用需氧和厌氧培养方法，对30例扁桃体周围脓肿患者进行了细菌学研究。用18号针头的注射器穿刺脓肿并抽取脓液。需氧菌和厌氧菌的检出频率约为1:2。消化链球菌（30.2%）、A组链球菌（27.9%）、消化球菌（16.3%）和梭杆菌（9.3%）是主要病原体。30例中有75%分离出厌氧菌。除A组链球菌外，厌氧菌在扁桃体周围脓肿中起主要病因作用。青霉素或头孢菌素将提供最大的化疗益处。
