Comparison of genital and respiratory carriage of Haemophilus parainfluenzae in men

E. Houang, M. Philippou and Z. Ahmet
Department of Microbiology, Chelsea Hospital for Women, London.

In the first study, genital carriage of Haemophilus parainfluenzae was investigated in 103 women and 292 men attending a clinic for genitourinary medicine. In a second study, pairs of urethral and throat swabs were studied in 279 men. The vaginal carriage was 2%, urethral 12.4% and throat 13.3%. Biotype 2 was found to be a genital type and throat carriage of this biotype was significantly associated with its concomitant urethral carriage. Biotypes 1 and 3 were mainly found in the throat. Biotype 2 was significantly more likely to be resistant to ampicillin, tetracycline and sulphonamide but biotype 1 was significantly more likely to be resistant to trimethoprim.
