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.
我们报告了两例由停乳链球菌马链球菌亚种(兰斯菲尔德G组)引起的渗出性咽炎病例。虽然该菌作为咽炎病原体的参与情况已有充分记录,但我们关注的是β-内酰胺治疗失败的情况,这种现象在化脓性链球菌引起的咽炎中已有详细描述。因此,这些病例报告增加了我们对非化脓性链球菌引起的咽炎的认识。
