| 1 | Surveillance of Australian Hajj pilgrims for carriage of potentially pathogenic bacteria:Data from two pilot studies显示文摘AIM To estimate the pharyngeal carriage rate of Neisseria meningitidis(N. meningitidis), Streptococcus pneumoniae(S. pneumoniae) and Staphylococcus aureus(S. aureus) among Australian Hajj pilgrims.METHODS In 2014, surveillance was conducted in two phases among Australian Hajj pilgrims: The first phase during Hajj in Mina, and the second phase soon after returning home to Australia. Nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swabs were taken from participants then tested, firstly by nucleic acid testing, and also by standard culture.RESULTS Of 183 participants recruited in the first phase, 26(14.2%) tested positive for S. pneumoniae; 4 had received pneumococcal conjugate vaccine(PCV13). Only one tested positive for N. meningitidis(W). Of 93 2^(nd) phase samples cultured, 17(18.3%) grew S. aureus, all methicillin sensitive, 2(2.2%) grew N. meningitidis(on subculture; one serotype B, one negative), and 1(1%), from an unvaccinated pilgrim, grew S. pneumoniae.CONCLUSION Relatively high carriage of S. pneumoniae and little meningococcal carriage was found. This indicates the importance of a larger study for improved infection surveillance and possible vaccine evaluation. | Mohammad Irfan Azeem Mohamed Tashani Al-Mamoon Badahdah Leon Heron Kristen Pedersen Neisha Jeoffreys Jen Kok Elizabeth Haworth Dominic E Dwyer Grant Hill-Cawthorne Harunor Rashid Robert Booy | 2017 | World Journal of Clinical Cases2017，5，3： | 0 |
