The provided abstract text is a mismatched fragment regarding streptococcus isolation from throats, which is entirely unrelated to the title concerning congenital complete heart block and atropine.
Geoffrey Currie (1940) studied Streptococcus carrier state (n=9). Throat-painting or gargling was evaluated on Isolation of Type 19 streptococcus. Type 19 streptococcus was isolated from six of nine schoolboys, while three had sterile swabs potentially due to recent gargling or throat-painting.
