Treatment for streptococcal necrotizing fasciitis is
Streptococcal subcutaneous infections range from cellulitis to necrotizing fasciitis. Necrotizing fasciitis is more commonly caused by mixed aerobic and anaerobic bacterial infections, but some strains(M types 1 and 3 forming pyrogenic exotoxin A) may alone be responsible. These strains have earned the name "flesh-eating bacteria". Though the isolates are penicillin sensitive in vitro, treatment with penicillin may not be effective. Vancomycin is the drug of choice in life-threatening infections. Reference: Textbook of Microbiology; Anathanarayan and paniker's; 10th edition; Page no: 214
