A particular focus of recent guidelines has been to reduce overall use of antibiotics for treatment of pharyngitis in both children and adults in order to limit antibiotic resistance (Table 298-2). Throat culture is the conventional method for establishing the diagnosis of GAS pharyngitis. In an ...
Streptococcus agalactiaeor Group BStreptococcus(GBS) is an important pathogen that affects neonates, peripartum women and the elderly worldwide. Prenatal maternal screening for GBS and antibiotic treatment has reduced the rate of neonatal GBS disease but the best long-term solution for control of the...

Streptococcus pyogenes(Group A Streptococcus, GAS) is an important human commensal that occasionally causes localized infections and less frequently causes severe invasive disease with high mortality rates. How GAS regulates expression of factors used to colonize the host and avoid immune responses remains...
As such, ThfT is a functional equivalent of eukaryotic folate uptake pathways that confers very high levels of resistance to sulfamethoxazole, yet remains undetectable when Group A Streptococcus is grown in the absence of reduced folates. Our study highlights the need to understand how antibiotic ...
Group B Streptococcus, also known as Streptococcus agalactiae, was once considered a pathogen of only domestic animals, causing mastitis in cows. S agalactiae is now best known as a cause of postpartum infection and as the most common cause of neonatal s
