The frequency of erythromycin resistance in Streptococcus pyogenes isolated in different Piemonte Region hospitals between January and August 2006 has been studied. The incidence of erythromycin-resistance was 20.2%. Among erythromycin resistant S. pyogenes 13.8% belonged to constitutive resistance phenotype, 5.3% to M phenotype and 1.1% to inducible resistance phenotype.
