Abstract
These studies indicate that a single strain of hemolytic streptococci almost exclusively predominates the bacterial flora in patients with streptococcal infections and in the carrier state. One can proceed with confidence that, in isolating streptococci from throat swabs cultured on blood-agar plates, only a single hemolytic colony need be picked for serological grouping and typing.
