Explain why practitioners do not use antibiotics to treat sore throats and why an exception is made for Strep throat, pyogenes.
Practitioners do not use antibiotics to treat sore throats because most sore throats are caused by a virus, such as a cold can’t be cured with antibiotics. Mostly antibiotics won't work for sore throats caused by a virus.
Exception is made for Strep throat and pyogenes because these are caused by bacteria. Antibiotics usually work only against bacterial infections such as strep throat.
If strep is not treated with antibiotics, one can remain contagious for two to three weeks and there is a higher risk for other diseases such as rheumatic fever.

Her mother also took Delia’s temperature and noted the girl was running a low-grade fever. Suspecting strep throat (streptococcal pharyngitis), her mother made an appointment with the pediatrician. The doctor first performed a rapid strep test, which works by detecting certain cell surface...

Resistant bacteria will then survive and multiply, reducing the effectiveness of the antibiotic treatment in the future. When antibiotics are...
