Abstract (2. Language): 
M. catarrhalis is a pathogenic organism which can cause upper respiratory tract infections such as otitis media or sinusitis. In this current study, M. catarrhalis was investigated on nasopharyngeal and throat specimens of 104 patients (73 adults, 31 children) prodiagnosed as having upper respiratory tract infections. M. catarrhalis was recovered from 35 of 104 nasopharyngeal specimens (33.6%) and 20 of 104 throat specimens (19.2%). These rates were 18 (24.7%) and 13 (17.8%) for adults, and 17 (54.8%) and 7 (22.6%) for children, respectively. These results support the theory that M. catarrhalis has an important role in the aetiology of upper respiratory tract infection.

M. catarrhalis, otitis media ve sinüzit gibi üst solunum yollari enfeksiyonlarinda etken olabilen bir patojendir. Bu çalismada üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonu ön tanisi almis 73 eriskin ve 31 çocuk olmak üzere toplam 104 hastanin nazofarinks ve bogaz sürüntü örneklerinde M. catarrhalis arastirildi. Yüz dört nazofarinks örneginin 35'inde (%33.6) ve bogaz sürüntü örneklerinin 20'sinde (%19.2) M. catarrhalis saptandi. Eriskinler için bu degerler sirasiyla 18 (%24.7) ve 13 (%17.8), çocuklar için 17 (%54.8) ve 7 (%22.6) olarak bulundu. Bu sonuçlar, ÜSYE etiyolojisinde M. catarrhalisin önemli oranda rol oynadigini desteklemektedir.
