The number and percentages of children with positive throat cultures of streptococci were 181 cases (9.4%) among 1914 cases. Group A streptococci composed 4.3% (83 cases) of betahemolytic streptococci recovered. A total of 181 strains of group A streptococci were tested for susceptibility to 21 antibiotics in vitro. The strains were almost equally sensitive to most of the individual antibiotics : all of the group A strains were uniformly susceptible to bacitracin ; 93.6% to ampicillin ; 82.3% to erythromycin.
