Strep A
For the detection of the bacterium Group A beta-haemolytic Streptococcus in pharyngeal infections
Description
Immunochromatographic test that detects the presence of specific Streptococcus antigens Thanks to gold-conjugated antibodies incorporated in the test strip. It helps to quickly know if a sore throat is caused by Streptococcus A or other germs that do not require antibiotic treatment.
Group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus infection (Streptococcus pyogenes) is a gram positive bacterium that causes a variety of medical conditions and complications, such as pharyngitis (throat infections), skin infections such as impetigo and erysipelas, acute glomerulonephritis , sepsis and rheumatic heart disease. Pharyngitis is commonly caused by viral infections and more rarely by bacterial infections, which require antibiotic therapy.
How to use
Collect a sample of the throat mucosa using the swab and tongue depressor provided. After collecting the sample, insert the cotton tip of the swab into the tube provided. Open the vial containing solution 1 by unscrewing only the blue cap and deposit 4 drops inside the tube. Open the vial with the green cap containing solution 2 and then place 4 drops inside the tube. Holding the swab by the plastic handle, swirl it firmly against the walls of the tube approximately 10 times to mix the solution. Leave the swab there for 2-5 minutes. Add the supplied dropper to the plastic tube, dispense one drop into the well of the cassette. Read the results after 5 minutes (some positive results may be evident as early as 1 minute). Do not read results after 10 minutes.
