Streptococcus pyogenes is non-motile gram-positive, which contains the Lancefield Group A antigen that can cause serious infections such as pharyngitis, respiratory infection, impetigo, endocarditis, meningitis, puerperal sepsis, and arthritis. Left untreated, these infections can lead to serious complications, including rheumatic fever and peritonsillar abscess. Traditional identification procedures for Group A Streptococci infection involve the isolation and identification of viable organisms using techniques that require 24 to 48 hours or longer.SpecificationsRapid detection of Group A Streptococcus bacterial antigenHigh sensitivity at low colony countAccurate results directly from throat swabResults in 5 minutesEasy to read control and test linesAll materials included in the kitAvailable in strip and device (cassette) formatKit Contents: 20 Test Cassettes 20 Extraction Tubes 20 Disposable Swabs (Nasal Swabs) 20 Dropper tips 1 Positive Control Swab 1 Negative Control Swab 1 Extraction Reagent 2 1 Workstation Instructions for use
