The following results were obtained.
1. The positive culture rate was 66.2% in 74 medical personnel examined. Out of five kinds of species isolated, alpha-streptococci were predominated showing 35.8%. The others were 28.9% of neisseria catarrhalis, 26.6% staphylococcus.
2. Double strains isolated from throat swab were outnumbered in the case of doctors, while single strain from nasal passage in the case of nurses.
