From: Effect of erythritol and xylitol on Streptococcus pyogenes causing peritonsillar abscesses
Effect of erythritol and xylitol on S. pyogenes PTA isolates and type strains compared to BHI. For each condition (e.g. for polyol ERY at 2.5%), the difference between the polyol growth data and BHI growth data (OD value of BHI minus OD value of polyol solution) is represented. The colored circles above the value “0” in Y axis are “inhibited growth”, values below the value “0” are enhanced growth, and on the value “0” is “no change”. The growth inhibition was detected in 28/31 of the isolates in the presence of at least one concentration of ERY and in 30/31 isolates of XYL.
