Abstract

The problem of the recurrent streptococcal pharyngitis after apparently adequate antibiotic (especially penicillin) therapy has been a thorny problem which often plagues those in clinical medicine. Dr. Simon and Sakai are certainly to be congratulated for the very interesting paper on "Staphylococcal Antagonism to Penicillin Therapy Streptococcal Infection" (Pediatrics, 31:463, 1963). Perhaps this will help to solve this problem in clinical medicine. I wish to point out that this may not be an isolated instance of staphylococcal interference with antibiotic therapy for what should be nonresistant organisms.
