Does the choice of antibiotic affect outcome in strep throat?

Cynthia Santos et al. Ann Emerg Med. 2015 May.

Abstract

There is insufficient evidence to show clinically meaningful differences between antibiotics for group A beta hemolytic streptococci tonsillopharyngitis. Penicillin or amoxicillin is recommended as first choice, given the absence of resistance and low cost.
