我们比较了鼻咽拭子和鼻腔冲洗培养对肺炎球菌定植的检测，并检测了在脱脂牛奶-胰蛋白胨-葡萄糖-甘油中冷冻储存对培养的影响。在55例鼻腔冲洗培养阳性的儿童中，拭子培养阳性47例(85%)。直接培养阳性96份，冷冻后再培养阳性94份(98%)。
We compared nasopharyngeal swabs against nasal wash cultures for detecting colonizing pneumococci and examined the effect of frozen storage in skim milk-tryptone-glucose-glycerin on culture. Among the 55 children with positive nasal wash cultures, swab cultures were positive for 47 (85%). Of the 96 swabs positive on direct plating, 94 (98%) were positive when recultured after freezing.
