Pyogenic Lymphandenitis blood agar shows beta hemolysis. The organism is also catalase and coagulase negative.
|
Streptococcus pyogenes (GAS)
Gram positive, chains and pairs BETA hemolytic Catalase negative Coagulase negative |
|
Stain shows gram positive bacteria in clusters.
|
Gram positive, in clusters
Beta hemolytic, catalase positive, coagulase positive |
|
