| 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 isolated from respiratory patients were 1,708 in which number of Potential
Pathogenic 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 streptococcus (17. 9%) and Pneumococcus (16. 0%).
3. Total bacteria isolated by throat cultures were increased in number from March to July.
4. Incidence of bacteria isolated from each respiratory disease showed that most of Potential Pathogenic
Bacteria was coagulase positive staphylococcus.
5. Coagulase positive staphylococcus showed an annual increasing resistance to several antibiotics.
Antibiotic sensitivities for Potential Pathogenic Bacteria were also discussed.
