Question: 1 / 400

If a bacterial culture indicates beta hemolytic streptococcus, what is the recommended treatment?

Amoxicillin

Metronidazole

Penicillin

The recommended treatment for beta hemolytic streptococcus is penicillin. Amoxicillin and erythromycin are both similar antibiotics and could be potential options for treatment, but they are not as effective against this specific type of bacteria as penicillin is. Metronidazole, on the other hand, is an antibiotic that is typically used to treat anaerobic bacteria and would not be effective in treating beta hemolytic streptococcus. Therefore, the most appropriate and recommended treatment for this bacterial culture would be penicillin.
