worrisome, consumption of penicillin may engender beta-lactam resistance in bystander pathogens such asStreptococcus pneumoniae, where these antibiotics are the mainstays of treatment. Antibiotic consumption is especially high for both suspected and confirmed cases of Strep A pharyngitis. A recent study ...
Emergence of Streptococcus pneumoniae with Very-High-Level Resistance to Penicillin Penicillin resistance threatens the treatment of pneumococcal infections. We used sentinel hospital surveillance (1978 to 2001) and population-based survei... SJ Schrag,McGee, L.,CG Whitney,... - 《Antimicrob Agents ...
The study has shown that penicillins are no longer useful for the treatment of infections caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae in this centre. The cephalosporins and quinolones however remained effective and are therefore recommended.doi:10.4314/ajcem.v5i2.7373H.A.A. Akanbi...

The most common bacteria to cause tonsillitis is the samegroup A Streptococcuswhich results in strep throat. Other species of strep bacteria, such aschlamydia pneumoniae(chlamydia),Neisseria gonorrhoeae(gonorrhoea) andstaphylococcus aureuscan also lead to the development of tonsillitis. Strep throat, ho...

pneumoniae may also be observed as single cocci or in short chains. Most streptococci generally have a rigid cell wall with typical Gram-positive peptidoglycan layer, inner plasma membrane with mesosomal vesicles, cytoplasmic ribosomes, and a nucleoid. Some strains including S. pneumoniae and S. ...
