Susceptibility Of Streptococcus Pyogenes Against Various Antibiotics
Journal Title: Applied Science Reports - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Streptococcus pyogenese is a gram positive bacterium, which causes mild illness (e.g. tonsillitis, impetigo and pharyngitis) to severe infection (e.g. toxic shock syndrome and necrotizing fascititis). The present study aims to find out the susceptibility of the species against various antibiotics in Abbottabad area. The study stated that the mention species was found sensitive to Ampicillin, Amoxicillin Pipracillin, Cephradine, Ofloxacin and Erythromycin, while found resistive to Cloxacillin, Oxacillin, Gentamycin, Sulfamethoxazole and Cefoparazone. The maximum mean zone of inhibition was noted against Ampicillin and Amoxicillin. From this work it was concluded that Ampicillin and Amoxicillin is the best drug of choice against Streptococcus pyogenes in mentioned area.
