Abstract
No statistical differences were found in the recovery of group A streptococci from throat culture specimens after overnight incubation of blood agar plates in 5% CO2 compared with anaerobiosis. Anaerobic incubation required many more subcultures and resulted in considerably greater technical time and expense.Keywords
