Streptococcus pyogenes, a gram-positive cocci, carries the Lancefield group A antigens. These antigens are responsible for causing various serious infections, including pharyngitis, #respiratory infections, impetigo, and arthritis. If left untreated, these infections can lead to severe complications.
The StrepA Rapid Test Cassette offers a faster alternative. This rapid test can detect the presence of Strep A antigens in throat swab specimens and provide results within 5 minutes. The test utilizes specific antibodies that target the whole cell Lancefield Group A Streptococcus, allowing for selective detection of Strep A antigens in a throat swab specimen. This efficient testing method assists healthcare professionals in promptly identifying Strep A infections, facilitating timely treatment and reducing the risk of complications.
