Abstract

1218 throat and 888 nasal swabs were collected from non hospitalized patients were examined for beta haemolytic streptococci. The samples were cultured on blood agar. To facilitate the isolation of beta haemolytic streptococci the samples were also cultured on biologically anaerobic sheep blood agar. From throat swabs and nasal swabs 174 and 13 beta haemolytic streptococci were isolated respectively. 113 beta haemolytic streptococci were identified as a group A (60%). In this study we evaluated the antibiotic susceptibility of streptococci. As a result the most effective antibiotics are in order Cefuroxime, Cefotaxime, Cephalothin, Thiamphenicol, Erythromycin.
