Which of the following bacteria is the most frequent cause of pharyngitis?
Answer: C
Correct answer: Streptococcus pyogenes
Group A streptococcus is the commonest bacterial cause of pharyngitis and the one that matters clinically, since untreated infection may be followed by rheumatic fever. S. pneumoniae causes pneumonia, otitis media and meningitis rather than pharyngitis, and Mycoplasma causes an atypical pneumonia.
