From: Effect of erythritol and xylitol on Streptococcus pyogenes causing peritonsillar abscesses

Distribution of S. pyogenes PTA isolates based on combined polyol effectivity scores (PES) for ERY and XYL. PES was calculated as a summary effect of three polyol concentrations (2.5%, 5% and 10%), where each polyol concentration contributed − 1, 0 or + 1 points depending on whether the S. pyogenes isolate growth increased, remained unchanged or decreased in the presence of the polyols, respectively. Size of the bubble represents number of isolates with different scores.
