Streptococcus Group A
Streptococcus Group A is a type of bacteria commonly found in the throat and on the skin. It is known for causing a range of illnesses, from mild conditions like strep throat to more severe diseases such as scarlet fever and rheumatic fever. These bacteria are typically spread through respiratory droplets or direct contact with infected wounds.
Infections caused by Streptococcus Group A can lead to symptoms such as sore throat, fever, and swollen lymph nodes. While many infections are treatable with antibiotics, complications can arise if left untreated. Proper hygiene and prompt medical attention are essential for prevention and management.
