    Snippet: The prevalence of individual microbes detected from study throat swabs is presented in Table 1 . The most prevalent bacterium was Staphylococcus aureus (detected in 33% of samples), followed by H. influenzae (24%), Streptococcus pneumoniae (15%) and β haemolytic Streptococcus A (8%). The most prevalent viruses were rhinoviruses (detected in 13% of samples), followed by enteroviruses (7%), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV; 6%) and influenza A (4......
    Document: The prevalence of individual microbes detected from study throat swabs is presented in Table 1 . The most prevalent bacterium was Staphylococcus aureus (detected in 33% of samples), followed by H. influenzae (24%), Streptococcus pneumoniae (15%) and β haemolytic Streptococcus A (8%). The most prevalent viruses were rhinoviruses (detected in 13% of samples), followed by enteroviruses (7%), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV; 6%) and influenza A (4.4%). Enteroviruses and rhinoviruses are genetically similar and some strains may be detected by both rhinovirus and enterovirus PCR tests. However of 407 patients in whom positive results were found with enterovirus and/or rhinovirus assays, only 17 (4.2%) tested positive using both assays. It is not possible to determine if these results represent assay cross-reactivity or dual infection. However for the purposes of this study we considered these 17 samples to represent dual rhinovirus/enterovirus infections.
