Pharyngitis It is the most common bacterial cause of cases of pharyngitis (15–30%). Common symptoms include fever, sore throat, and large lymph nodes. It is a contagious infection, spread by close contact with an infected individual. A definitive diagnosis is made based on the results of a throat culture. Antibiotics are useful to both prevent complications and speed recovery.

A List of Bad Bacteria Certain types of Gram-positive cocci, or spherical bacteria, are the leading pathogens among humans, including: -- Staphylococcus aureus -- Streptococcus pneumoniae -- Streptococcus pyogenes, also known as group A streptococcus. These bacteria can cause a range of conditions and infections. Common examples include: -- pneumonia -- ear infections -- strep throat -- superficial and deep skin infections -- bloodstream infections, known as sepsis -- toxic shock syndrome

- Strep throat is identified as a bacterium whose name is Streptococcus pyogenes. S.pyogenes also forms a category called Group A Beta Hemolytic Strep (GABHS) which isresponsible for a number of diseases, however strep throat is the most epidemic(Patterson, 2005).

- Streptococcus Genus Characteristics Many members of the Streptococcus genus are normal flora to the mouth, nose, and throat. The genus Streptococcus is a complex group causing a wide range of diseases such as: rheumatic fever, impetigo, pharyngitis, laryngitis, toxic shock syndrome, scarlet fever, and endocarditis.Streptococci are often classified based on hemolysis which can be seen by their reaction on blood agar.he genus Streptococcus is a complex group causing a wide range of diseases such as: rheumatic fever, impetigo, pharyngitis, laryngitis, toxic shock syndrome, scarlet fever, and endocarditis.

Strep Although there are more than 30 species of strep, only 5 are significant human pathogens. Three of these pathogens have lancefield antigens: Group A, B, and D. The other two pathogenic species of strep genus do not have lancefield antigens, and are therefore called by their species name: Streptococcal Pneumoniae and Viridans group Strep.

Strep Throat: Symptoms and Treatment Strep throat (also known as pharyngitis or streptococcal pharyngitis) is a bacterial infection. Two types of bacteria can cause strep throat: Group A (also known as Streptococcus pyogenes) and Group B.Each strain of bacteria can result in different complications.Strep bacteria are very contagious, and spread by nasal secretions and saliva.any types of bacteria and, more frequently, viruses can cause a sore throat, so to determine what is causing the infection a physician will perform a strep test, according to the CDC.

The illness can occur in clusters and is diagnosed most often in the winter and spring.

Pharyngitis Bacterial infections require antibiotics. The most common bacterial infection of the throat is strep throat, which is caused by Group A streptococcus. Rare causes of bacterial pharyngitis include gonorrhea, chlamydia, and corynebacterium. Frequent exposure to colds and flus can increase your risk for pharyngitis.

Pharyngitis Throat infections are common among children and adults. They are transferred through saliva. There are two types of pharyngitis – bacterial and viral. Bacterial infections are generally caused by the streptococcus bacteria. It is more common after age three and generally does not affect children under a year. Viral infections are caused by the infiltration and reproduction of microorganisms in the nucleus of the cell.

- Among those reported cases, only 5-10% were caused bythe strep throat bacterium, with GABHS being the most common etiologic agent (Hayes,and Williamson, 2005).

Diagnosis and Treatment of Streptococcal Pharyngitis Patient information: See related handout on strep throat, written by the author of this article. Article Sections. Common signs and symptoms of streptococcal pharyngitis include sore throat, temperature greater than 100.4°F (38°C), tonsillar exudates, and cervical adenopathy. Cough, coryza, and diarrhea are more common with viral pharyngitis. Available diagnostic tests include throat culture and rapid antigen detection testing.

Streptococcus species (Group G and Group C Streptococci, Viridans Group, Nutritionally Variant Streptococci) Streptococcus species (Group G and Group C Streptococci, Viridans Group, Nutritionally Variant Streptococci) Strep infections have been commonly associated with skin and throat infections due to Group A streptococcus (S. pyogenes). Non-group A streptococci have also been implicated from mild to serious infections.

Background Background. Infection with Streptococcus pyogenes, a beta-hemolytic bacterium that belongs to Lancefield serogroup A, also known as the group A streptococci (GAS), causes a wide variety of diseases in humans.n addition to infections of the upper respiratory tract and the skin, S pyogenes can cause a wide variety of invasive systemic infections. Along with Staphylococcus aureus, group A streptococcus is one of the most common pathogens responsible for cellulitis.

Background In addition to infections of the upper respiratory tract and the skin, S pyogenes can cause a wide variety of invasive systemic infections. Along with Staphylococcus aureus, group A streptococcus is one of the most common pathogens responsible for cellulitis. Infection with this pathogen is also causally linked to 2 potentially serious nonsuppurative complications: acute rheumatic fever (ARF) and acute glomerulonephritis.

Sore Throat (Pharyngitis) Pharyngitis is primarily caused by bacteria and viruses. When evaluating a patient with a sore throat, it is important to differentiate pharyngitis caused by Group A streptococcus (GAS) from that caused by other pathogens. GAS is the most common cause of pharyngitis that is treatable with antibiotics.During the winter, approximately 15-25% of all cases of pharyngitis in children will be due to streptococcal infection. In adults this number is closer to 10%.hen evaluating a patient with a sore throat, it is important to differentiate pharyngitis caused by Group A streptococcus (GAS) from that caused by other pathogens.
