Overview

Arcanobacterium haemolyticum was isolated from 8 641 throat swabs in 49 cases (0.56%), frompatients aged 16 to 24 years only, twice more often from men than from women. The isolation wasachieved on sheep blood agar supplemented with streak with Staphylococcus aureus strain produ-cing beta-lysine. In all cases the presence of A. haemolyticum colonies was disclosed by the irregularperiphery of haemolysis around the staphylococcal streak after the 48-hour incubation. The tech-nique described should be used as a standard procedure for examining throat swabs.

Key words:
Arcanobacterium haemolyticum – isolation – reverse CAMP test – primoculture.
