The isolation rate of the microorganisms which were isolated from throat cultures

In this study, we evaluated throat cultures which come to the University of Selcuk Microbiology Unit among the dates 01 January 1991 and 31 December 1994. We researched the effective pathogen of thro-at infections and their isolation rates. From total 15510 throat samples, 13171 (85 %) of them were normal flora bacteria and 2339 (15 %) of the samp-les, it was isolated the effective pathogen mic-roorganisms. Most frequently isolated pathogens were found; 603 (25 %) Staphylococcus aureus, 569 (24 %) group A beta hemolytic Streptococcus and 345 (14 %) Non A Non B group beta hemolytic Streptococcus.
