“…Beta-hemolytic streptococcus infection leads to serious complications as rheumatic fever and acute glomerulonephritis. According to studies on streptococcal pharyngitis complications, adequate antibiotic therapy has declined the incidence of rheumatic fever about ten times [5,6] . Of commonly used antibiotics for the treatment of beta-hemolytic streptococcus infection are penicillin and its family (including ampicillin).As proper usage of antibiotics leads to rapid treatment of streptococcal infection, inadequate treatment and changing in bacterial characteristics leads to bacterial resistance to antibiotics [7,8] .This results in unsuccessful treatment and increased complications.…”

A camada mais externa é composta de ácido hialurônico, camada que confere à bactéria sua aparência mucóide quando ela é cultivada em agar-sólido 15,17 . O ácido hialurônico dá ao streptococcus a capacidade de resistir a fagocitose, sendo, portanto, um fator de virulência, além de ser antigênico 6,7 .…”
