This study was undertaken to determine the antibiotic sensitivity of 686 strains of hemolytic streptococci isolated at the School of Public Health, Divi­sion of Streptococcal Studies, to five antibiotics in vitro. All of the strains were sensitive to penicillin, erythromycin, chloramphenicol and am...
