Streptococcus pyogenes (GAS)

Streptococcus pyogenes, also known as Group A Streptococcus (GAS), is a human pathogen responsible for a range of infections, from mild pharyngitis and skin infections to severe invasive diseases such as necrotizing fasciitis and streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. Rapid and accurate detection is crucial for effective treatment and outbreak control.
Streptococcus pyogenes PCR kits based on real-time PCR technology provide a sensitive and specific method for detecting S. pyogenes DNA in human samples. These molecular diagnostics tools offer accurate and reproducible results in routine and specialized laboratory workflows. Available in CE IVD-marked formats for diagnostic use and as research use only (RUO) versions, these PCR assays can be used for GAS diagnostics as well as non-clinical applications such as surveillance, antimicrobial resistance studies, and microbiological research.
