Abstract

In order to determine whether healthy adults can be of importance for the spread of pertussis the nasopharyngeal flora of 391 healthy individuals working in close contact with children was investigated during the height of a pertussis epidemic. Only 1 carrier of Bordetella pertussis was found, even though all individuals were exposed to the organism during the study period through their work.
