Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
S. salivarius is a normal commensal of our body. These helpful bacteria do stimulate the immune system of our body to fight against abnormal pathogens like S. pyogenes.
Mild infections can be controlled by these and for severe infections, antibiotics are needed.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
