Voorbeelden van streptococci

• An experiment was conducted in which streptococci extracted from throats of patients with pharyngitis were grown at room temperature on a medium containing eggs.

• It often follows an upper respiratory tract infection, particularly with streptococci.

• Investigations suggest that substantial amounts of streptococci are disseminated when nasal carriers sneeze or cough.

• The pre-treated streptococci were allowed to attach to human enamel or glass (favoured for its transparency).

• They showed at most a concentration of 40 thermotolerant coliforms and six faecal streptococci per 100 ml of water.

• The first samples were examined for total coliforms, thermostable coliforms and faecal streptococci.

• There was also no significant difference between the numbers of total streptococci between all groups.

• Further study of the growth and survival of streptococci in food is needed in order to prepare recommendations for prevention of food-borne streptococcal pharyngitis.
