“…A statement like that of Ketterer [10] that the pharynx is not apt for gonococcal growth appears to him as merely historic. As we, in addition, now know that taxonomically closely related meningococcus is to be found far more often in the pharynx than is said in classic microbiological textbooks [2], and as gonococcal pharyngitis has now also been described in our country [18], it seemed useful to take a close look at the gonococcal car rier problem when analyzing present meningococcal carriage in a subpopula tion not composed of VD patients.…”

Urethral carriage of gonococci is now accepted as a common phenomenon. During the last 10 years, moreover, gonococcal infections of the throat – both symptomatic and asymptomatic – have increasingly been demonstrated. As most investigations were undertaken in a highly selected population (VD patients), it seemed useful to screen a group of army recruits for the presence of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in their throats. In fact, while Neisseria meningitidis turned up very often, no such strains could be found. So gonococcal pharyngeal – other than urethral – carriage cannot be considered as a normal finding in an unselected population; as high as the corresponding rates in VD patients may be.

The Meningococcal Carrier Rate with Special Re/erence to Age and Sex Summary. In healthy children under 2 years meningococci could never be isolated from the nasopharyngeal mucosa. Beginning from the third year of life, the carrier rate rises to over 300/0 at the end of the fourth decennium and then decreases slightly. The rex ratio among carriers is the same as among patients (3:2). More than half of the strains isolated belonged to group B; representatives of groups A and Z were also relatively numerous (14~ each).The lactose-positive N. meningococcoides could already be found in the second month of life, the peak of the carrier curve fell into the third or fourth year. Later in life, less than 5~ of the population are carriers. No sexual disposition could be demonstrated. The pathogenicity of this species seems to be far lower than that of N. meningitld~s.
