We studied the composition, the factors influencing bacterial carriage in children rhinopharynx, and the susceptibility to antibiotics of some isolated strains. Rhinopharyngeal swabs were collected from 150 pupils aged between 3 and 5 years and submitted to qualitative and quantitative analysis using standard methods. The antibiotic sensitivity of potential pathogenic species was evaluated using disc diffusion. Factors influencing bacterial carriage were determined, using many types of statistical tests. Unclassified Streptococcus were present in all the samples and at the highest concentration (2.17 10 8
