    Acute bacterial pharyngitis is most commonly caused by group A beta-hemolytic streptococci (BHSA), rarely by groups C and G (with large colonies) and Arcanobacterium haemoLyticum. Routine throat ... culture is appropriate for all ofthem. If Corynebacterium diphteriae or Neisseria gonorrhoae are considered, they must be specifically requested, because additional methods will be used. Antigen tests for direct detection of BHSA in throat swabs can be used: positive results are acceptabte, negative results must be verified with culture. If patients are not seriusly ill, they should be treated with antibiotics only if bacterial pathogen has been found. Antimicrobial sensitivity tests are appropriate if the patient is treated with macrolide antibiotics. Both tonsils and posterior pharyngeal wall should be swabbed whenthroat swab is taken. Puncture or incision is necessary for obtaining sample from local abscess. Parotitis: pus can be taken by swab, if we compressthe swollen gland. Epiglottitis: samples are taken only when appropriate conditions are fulfilled, because all manipulations with the patients can be dangerous. Samples should be transported in transport medium.
