Abstract

|
|
A group of 980 cases of respiratory tract infections in infancy and children admitted to Severance hospital during the 4 years from June, 1967 to May, 1971 were studied, and bacteriologic studies in each respiratory disease by means of throat cultures were evaluated.
The following results were obtained:
1. Total number of bacteria were 268(15.9%) and the remainder were Probable Normal Flora.
2. The order of Potential Pathogenic Bacteria isolated from throat cultures were as follows: Staphylococcus aureus(55.9%), Beta hemolytic strepyococcus(17.9%) and Pneumococcus(16.0%).
3. Total bacteria isolated from each respiratory disease showed that most of Potential Pathogenic Bacteria was coagulase positive staphylococcus.
4. oagulase positive staphylococcus showed an annual increasing resistance to several antibiotics. Antibiotics sensitivities for Potential Pathogenic Bacteria were also discussed.
