Overview
Impetigo is usually caused by Staphylococcus aureus, it may also be caused by the same streptococcus strain that causes strep throat, Streptococcus pyogenes.
Causes
According to the American Academy of Family Physicians - "Nonbullous impetigo was previously thought to be a group A streptococcal process and bullous impetigo was primarily thought to be caused by S. aureus. Studies now indicate that both forms of impetigo are primarily caused by S. aureus with Streptococcus usually being involved in the nonbullous form"[1]
