Strep is
nothing to go half-measures with. I seem to recall there are already some strains with resistance to a number of antibiotics and can be fatal -- though I also admit up front I could easily be confusing widely different strains.
Not my field, but strep is high on my "concern" list.

I am not allowed to make a widow out of the wife so soon after we were married, so I am taking care to get better as best I can.
I am being guarded at this moment by a 4.5 pound guard dog who seems to want to always eye the food I am eating....

Strep throat can lead to rheumatic fever which in turn can lead to heart disease. Strep can also lead to scarlet fever, which is deadly.
I’ve had rheumatic fever twice, and I’m here to tell you, it is not fun.
