Resumo
The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and the antimicrobial susceptibility profile
of Streptococcus spp. obtained from recurrent acute pharyngo-tonsillitis. For this study, tonsils
from 122 patients ranging from 3 to 38 years old (66 males and 56 females) were collected. All
patients had a history of recurrent acute pharyngo-tonsillitis associated with tonsillar hypertrophy
and were submitted for tonsillectomy at a teaching hospital. After isolation and identification,
antimicrobial susceptibility tests were performed. A hundred and fifty one isolates of Streptococcus
spp. were obtained from tonsils, consisting of 41.06% non-hemolytic Streptococcus viridans group,
39.07% a-hemolytic Streptococcus viridans group, 7.30% Streptococcus of C, F or G groups, 5.30%
β-hemolytic Streptococcus spp., 4.63% non-hemolytic Streptococcus spp., 1.32% a-hemolytic
Streptococcus spp. and 1.32% group A β hemolytic Streptococcus. Some of the isolates were resistant
to beta-lactamic antibiotics. The study showed that components of the oropharynx microbiota
presented resistance to drugs commonly used to treat pharyngo-tonsillitis infections. Correct
diagnosis would improve treatment and could prevent recurrent infections.
