TreatmentAs S. tigurinus is relatively rare scientists are still researching the most effective ways to combat the bacteria with some strains showing resistance to drugs like tetracycline[3] and an enhanced resistance to phagocytosis by macrophages.[4] References1. ^{{cite journal|title=The pathogenicity of the Streptococcus genus |pmc=3824240 | pmid=24141975|doi=10.1007/s10096-013-1914-9|volume=32|issue=11 |year=2013|journal=Eur.
