A Case of Pharyngitis
A 6-year-old male awoke complaining of throat pain and difficulty swallowing. His temperature was 102°F (39°C) and his mother could feel "swollen glands" in his neck. When she looked into his mouth, she saw whitish patches over his tonsils. She immediately brought him to his pediatrician, who sent a throat swab for direct antigen testing. Upon receiving the test results, the physician prescribed penicillin for 10 days. The child felt better within 48 hours, returned to school, and recovered uneventfully.
If the swab was cultured for streptococci, what culture medium should the laboratory have used?
