Talk:Streptococcal pharyngitis

Principles of appropriate antibiotic usage
The statement that &#8220;it is reasonable to suggest that no antimicrobial treatment be given to healthy adults who have adverse reactions to medication or those at low risk of complications&#8221; cites 2 sources. The first is a practice guideline that was published in 2001 and says that it expires automatically after 5 years. The second has its full-text behind a pay wall (and the abstract does not say anything about this). I think the newest U.S. (AAFP) guidelines are also behind a paywall.

 * Yes many of the sources we use are behind paywalls. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 20:54, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

In the Streptococcal pharyngitis section, S. pyogenes is displayed unitalicized. As a binomial name of a bacterium, it should be italicised. In fact, in that section, "streptococcus", "streptococci", and "fusobacterium" should also be italicised. Adding in the use of Greek letters, I request that you please change:


 * Strep throat is caused by group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus (GAS or S. pyogenes). Other bacteria such as non–group A beta-hemolytic streptococci and fusobacterium may also cause pharyngitis.

to


 * Strep throat is caused by group A &beta;-hemolytic streptococcus (GAS or S. pyogenes). Other bacteria such as non–group A &beta;-hemolytic streptococci and fusobacterium may also cause pharyngitis.

Change "Humans are the only known natural reservoir for group A streptococcus.[14] " to "Humans are the primary natural reservoir ..." ACCORDING TO THE SOURCE, "Humans are the primary reservoir for group A strep. There is no evidence to indicate that pets can transmit the bacteria to humans." 27.34.22.4 (talk) 13:23, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
