1. The authors in this study have isolated and tested a total of 23 isolates of S. pyogenes against following antibiotics: erythromycin (15 μg), azithromycin (15 μg), tetracycline (), chloramphenicol (30 μg), clindamycin (2 μg), vancomycin (30 μg), ceftriaxone (30 μg), and penicillin (10 μg). However, CLSI guidelines states that penicillin is tested as a surrogate for cefazolin, cefepime, ceftaroline, cephradine, cephalothin, cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, ceftizoxime, imipenem, ertapenem, and meropenem for groups A, B, C, and G beta-hemolytic streptococci. Penicillin is also surrogate for cefaclor, cefdinir, cefprozil, ceftibuten, cefuroxime, and cefpodoxime for group A beta-hemolytic streptococci.
