Interference of nontypeable haemophilus influenzae and moraxella catarrhalis by streptococcus oralis in adenoid organ culture: A possible strategy for the treatment of the otitis-prone child
|
The role of viridans group streptococci (Streptococcus oralis) in the prevention of colonization with nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis was investigated in an adenoid organ culture system. The adenoids from 100 patients who were undergoing adenoidectomy for either hypertrophy or recurrent otitis media were used. Streptococcus oralis Parker uniformly inhibited colonization with nontypeable H influenzae or M catarrhalis over a 24-hour period of incubation in adenoid o...
