The reliability of the bacitracin inhibition test to differentiate between 75 group Aand 46 non- group Abeta-heamolytic streptococci was studied. The test was performed by commercially available discs containing 0.04 IU/ml. bacitracin under atmospheric conditions with and without CO2. Each of the zone sizes were used as cut off points to obtain the sensitivity, specifity, positive and negative predictive values. The most reliable, highest values were obtained with a zone size of 15mm. diameter. The use of a 15mm. zone as a cut off point, 97.77 %, 98.68 %, 97.72 % and 98.68 % were calculated for sensitivity, specifity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value respectively.
