  • Title: [Mouth colonization by Streptococcus pyogenes in patients with impetigo].
    Author: Ronconi MC, Merino LA, Miranda O.
    Journal: Rev Cubana Med Trop; 1999; 51(3):149-51. PubMed ID: 10887578.
    Abstract:
    The faucial carrying of Streptococcus pyogenes in patients presenting impetigo was determined as a risk factor for non-suppurative complications (acute glomerulonephritis). The fauces cultures of these patients revealed a S. pyogenes colonization of 65% and all the isolates were penicillin-sensitive. It was concluded that the high percent of faucial colonization made a systemic antimicrobial treatment necessary.
