Streptococcuspyogenesis indigenous to the human pharynx and causes acute pharyngitis. Balanoposthitis is an inflammatory disease of the glans and the foreskin. However, balanoposthitis caused byS.pyogenesis not widely recognized as a sexually transmitted disease. In addition, bacteriological features of the isolates causing balanoposthitis are unclear. The fourS.pyogenesstrains isolated from adult balanoposthitis were examined. We performedemmtyping, T antigen typing, RAPD assay, PCR assay for the streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin-related genes and antibiotic-resistant genes, and antibiotic susceptibility assay. All four strains were suspected to be transmitted by penile-oral sexual intercourse, were found to be different by genetic analysis, and also harbored some antibiotic-resistant factors. We propose thatS.pyogenesshould be considered as a causative agent of sexually transmitted disease. The drug resistantS.pyogenesmust be taken into account when balanoposthitis patients are treated with antibiotic.
