Summary Introduction
To determine:
The epidemiology and pathogenesis of the streptococcal species and how they are differentiated in the laboratory.
Introduction:
Streptococcus species are involved in a number of diseases, including skin infections, pharyngitis and systemic infections. Group A Streptococci must be identified at the earliest; laboratory techniques for rapid identification have therefore been developed for this purpose.
