Abstract
In 1988-1992 the tonsillar flora of 1799 children, six years of age and staying at certain kindergartens in Bavaria (Bayern), was examined. The microbiological investigations, directed at five indicator-germs showed the following results: 28.6% of the children were carriers of beta-haemolytic Streptococci, 17.4% of Enterobacteriaceae and 11.8% of Candida spp., Pseudomonadales and moulds could be found in 0.6% of the specimens.
