Snippet: The bacteria in throat swabs were detected at similarly high proportions in AUFs and Controls. Some cases of bacteria (K. pneumoniae ) detected in AUF patients presenting with accompanying respiratory symptoms were considered probable causes of AUF. With the exception of these probable cases, most of the detected bacteria might be considered colonizing bacteria. However, we noticed that K. pneumoniae, which is known to be associated with pneumoni.....
Document: The bacteria in throat swabs were detected at similarly high proportions in AUFs and Controls. Some cases of bacteria (K. pneumoniae ) detected in AUF patients presenting with accompanying respiratory symptoms were considered probable causes of AUF. With the exception of these probable cases, most of the detected bacteria might be considered colonizing bacteria. However, we noticed that K. pneumoniae, which is known to be associated with pneumonia, urinary tract infection and, particularly in Asia, pyogenic liver abscesses [56] , was detected in more than one-quarter of all the participants (209/762, 27%) in this study. Thus, further studies of this bacterium might be useful to determine its effects on liver abscess conditions in the population in this area.
