- The patient, who presented with complaints such as sore throat, fever, weakness, and swollen tonsils, was examined by an ear, nose and throat doctor. Having diagnosed the patient with Streptococcus pyogenes pharyngitis, the doctor requested a throat culture from the patient to confirm the accuracy of the diagnosis. a. In which environment does the Laborant develop Streptococcus pyogenes in the throat culture taken from the patient with a swab? Explain by explaining. b. Laborant is Strep in mixed culture, which is formed as a result of throat culture that he developed (cultivated). Using which methods to analyze and determine pyogenes phenotypically? c.

Aside from the injury, his medical history was unremarkable. The patient was admitted for nine days and underwent debridement and was discharged with an external fixator.
