NO: Cipro (ciprofloxacin) has poor activity against group a streptococcus. Penicillins, cephalosporins and Clindamycin are much better choices.

Cipro (ciprofloxacin) and Strep: Cipro (ciprofloxacin) is not a great antibiotic against strep, so you could get a strep infection while already taking Cipro (ciprofloxacin).
