Pharyngeal micro-organisms of 131 Australian and Malaysian children and adults were compared by analysis of aerobic culture of throat swab specimens. Enteric Gram-negative bacilli were commonly isolated in small numbers from Malaysian adults whether they had sore throats (28%) or not (36%), but were detected in only 9% of Australian adults without sore throats and in only 12% and 4% of Malaysian children with and without sore throats respectively. In other respects microbiological findings were similar in the different groups of subjects studied. It is concluded that the pharyngeal carriage rate of enteric Gram-negative bacilli may differ substantially between different groups of normal individuals. Our findings also suggest that these micro-organisms do not have a pathogenic role in pharyngitis.
通过对咽喉拭子标本进行需氧培养分析，比较了131名澳大利亚和马来西亚儿童及成人的咽部微生物。无论有无咽痛，马来西亚成年人咽喉部均常少量分离出肠道革兰氏阴性杆菌（有咽痛者占28%，无咽痛者占36%），但在无咽痛的澳大利亚成年人中仅9%检测到，在有咽痛和无咽痛的马来西亚儿童中分别仅12%和4%检测到。在其他方面，所研究的不同组受试者的微生物学结果相似。得出结论，正常个体的不同组之间肠道革兰氏阴性杆菌的咽部携带率可能有很大差异。我们的研究结果还表明，这些微生物在咽炎中没有致病作用。
