Abstract

ABSTRACT We present two cases of exudative pharyngitis due to Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis , Lancefield group G. While the participation of this organism as an agent of pharyngitis is well documented, we focus on failure of beta-lactam therapy, a phenomenon that is well described for pharyngitis due to Streptococcus pyogenes . Therefore, these case reports add to our knowledge of pharyngitis caused by non- S. pyogenes streptococci.
