    abstract = {In this review, the characteristics, classification, pathogenesis and diagnosis of <i>Streptococcus </i>pyogenes (<I>S. pyogenes</I>) infections are discussed. In addition, a list of antibiotics and natural agents necessary to inhibit <I>S. pyogenes</I> are listed herein. <I>S. pyogenes</I> is a group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus. It is a facultative anaerobe, non-motile, non-sporing, spherical or ovoidal cocci. Many virulence factors are produced by <I>S. pyogenes</I> and are responsible for its infections such as streptolysin O, streptolysin S, <i>streptococcal</i> pyogenic exotoxin A and exotoxin C, streptokinase, hyaluronidase and C5a peptidase. Pathogenic causes of <I>S. pyogenes</I> are pharyngitis, impetigo, sepsis, erysipelas, Cellulities, puerperal fever, scarlet fever, rheumatic fever, glomerulonephritis and toxic shock syndrome. Serology, culturing and microscopic examination of <I>S. pyogenes</I> are the most important ways of diagnosis. The recent ways to inhibit <I>S. pyogenes</I> by natural agents (honey, essential oils, plant extracts) are also discussed.}
