Studies on urinary carriage of enteric group organisms.

ENTERIC carriers may excrete ~he organism in the freces or urine. In general, frecal excretion is commoner and more persistent than urinary (V ogelsang and Boe, 1948). In Egypt, however, various workers have emphasized the relative frequency and chronicity of urinary carriers (Ashton, 1947; Walton, 1949; Miller, 1950). Urinary schistosomiasis is common in Egypt, and its possible influence on th...

Studies on Urinary Carriage of Enteric Group

The extensio~ of studies on Urinary Enteric Carriage in Egypt, and the ! aspects .of such carriage w~ich would receive particular' attention were announced in an earlier paper in which two cases exemplifying many of these aspects were described (Archer, Bangham, Dunbar, and Ritchie, 1950). With reference to the number of organisms passed by carriers, it was then suggested that it w~s desirable ...

Evaluation of Prevalence of S. pneumoniae pharyngeal carriers under 5 years of age by lytA gene detection

ABSTRACT          Background and Objective: Streptococcus pneumoniae is one of the leading causes of death among children worldwide. Nasopharyngeal colonization in children can spread pneumococcal infections in the community. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of S. pneumoniae strains isolated from healthy pharyngeal carriers less than 5 yea...

Carriage Rate of Nasopharyngeal Haemophilus Influenzae among Children under 6 Years Old in Tehran, Iran

  Introduction : Haemophilus influenzae is a gram-negative bacterium causing a variety of respiratory infections in developing countries, especially in children. Nasopharynx carriers of H. influenzae are the prominent source and transitional vectors of invasive diseases. As very limited information on H. influenzae carriage rate in Iran was available, an evaluation on prevalence of this bacteri...
