The study population included both children (n = 79) and adults (n = 62). Infection by group A streptococci appeared to be more common in children than in adults, as the detection rates of inhibitory \u03b1-streptococci in healthy children (29.7%), as well as pediatric patients with tonsillitis (14.9%), were lower than those in adults (63.0%; p &lt; .01). It is possible to consider oral \u03b1-streptococci with inhibitory activity to be among the indications for tonsillectomy in patients with streptococcal tonsillitis, since the detection rate of inhibitory \u03b1-streptococci in surgical cases (10.9%) was significantly lower than that in nonsurgical cases (31.1 %; p &lt; .01). The high detection rate of these strains during the postoperative state supported the observation that the incidence of group A streptococcal infection was decreased postoperatively. Accordingly, it is useful to investigate bacterial interference between oral \u03b1-streptococci and group A streptococci in patients scheduled for tonsillectomy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/000348949710600708","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,3]],"date-time":"2014-10-03T14:38:05Z","timestamp":1412347085000},"page":"571-574","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Interaction between Oral Alpha-Streptococci and Group a Streptococci in Patients with Tonsillitis"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"106","author":[{"given":"Isao","family":"Fujimori","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Yamanashi, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Izuru","family":"Nozawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yamanashi, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kazuhito","family":"Kikushima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yamanashi, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rei","family":"Goto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yamanashi, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ken-Ichi","family":"Hisamatsu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yamanashi, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yoshihiko","family":"Murakami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yamanashi, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1997,7,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-000348949710600708","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3476(05)82144-4"},{"key":"bibr2-000348949710600708","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01709279"},{"key":"bibr3-000348949710600708","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM198702193160801"},{"key":"bibr4-000348949710600708","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3476(05)80644-4"},{"key":"bibr5-000348949710600708","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/JB.51.6.671-684.1946"},{"key":"bibr6-000348949710600708","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/IAI.16.2.599-603.1977"},{"key":"bibr7-000348949710600708","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/0003-4819-68-3-579"},{"key":"bibr8-000348949710600708","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/AAC.9.1.81"},{"key":"bibr9-000348949710600708","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1995.01890120061012"},{"key":"bibr10-000348949710600708","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/infdis\/84.1.88"},{"key":"bibr11-000348949710600708","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0165-5876(95)01220-6"},{"key":"bibr12-000348949710600708","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/infdis\/120.6.698"},{"key":"bibr13-000348949710600708","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/infdis\/146.5.683"},{"key":"bibr14-000348949710600708","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/JB.115.2.655-661.1973"},{"key":"bibr15-000348949710600708","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/IAI.20.1.20-24.1978"},{"key":"bibr16-000348949710600708","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/00220345750540010801"},{"key":"bibr17-000348949710600708","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0165-5876(93)90047-7"},{"key":"bibr18-000348949710600708","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00365549309169666"}],"container-title":["Annals of Otology, Rhinology &amp; Laryngology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/000348949710600708","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/000348949710600708","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T11:16:22Z","timestamp":1777374982000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/000348949710600708"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[1997,7]]},"references-count":18,"journal-issue":{"issue":"7","published-print":{"date-parts":[[1997,7]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/000348949710600708"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/000348949710600708","relation":{},"ISSN":["0003-4894","1943-572X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0003-4894","type":"print"},{"value":"1943-572X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[1997,7]]}}}
