clindamycin (cleocin) can be used to treat strep throat, but it's not the recommended treatment. strep throat is caused by streptococcus pyogenes. recommended treatment is with penicillin for 10 days. alternatives include amoxicillin; penicillin allergic patients can use azithro/clarithro/erythro-mycin. there is some evidence showing cleocin works, but it's not first choice
