| Popis: | SummaryStrains of certain types of Group A hemolytic streptococci were discovered to be naturally resistant to moderate amounts of sulfadiazine. It is suggested that such organisms originated the epidemics of streptococcal disease among troops receiving sulfonamide prophylaxis, later becoming more resistant by mutation. No strains significantly resistant to penicillin were discovered. |
