SXT and Taxo A disks for presumptive identification of group A and B streptococci in throat cultures
Abstract
A bacitracin (0.04 units, BBL)-SXT (trimethoprim, 1.25 mg, plus sulfamethoxazole, 23.75 mg, BBL) susceptibility test was 94% accurate in presumptively identifying streptococci as either group A, B or not group A and B.
