[Escherichia coli, coliform bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus and Staphylococcus aureus carriers among children 5-15 years old].
The throat swap cultures of 250 children between 5-15 years ages examined for the microorganisms, E. coli, Coliform, Protus, Ps. aeruginosa and S. aureus. 66 (26.4%) E. coli, 64 (25.6%) S. aureus, 9 (3.6%) Coliform, 3 (1.2%) Ps. aeruginosa, 2 (0.2%) Proteus organisms were isolated from throat swaps cultures of 144 (57.6%) children. 106 (42.4%) children had contained normal oral flora. S. aureus and E. coli strains were tested using disk method for the sensitivity of some antibiotics. S. aureus strains were resistant 12.5% to gentamycin, 9.4% to cefoperazone and (1% to cefazolin, 48.4% to lincomycin and 87.5% to ampicillin. E. coli strains were resistant 42% to gentamycin, 37% to cefoperazone and 74% to cefazolin.
