About Strep Throat – Group A Streptococcus (Strep A)

Strep throat is most commonly caused by the bacteria Group A Streptococcus (Strep A). This type of bacteria is highly contagious, meaning there is a significant risk that multiple people in the household may be infected at the same time. Therefore, we recommend that everyone tests themselves simultaneously so that anyone infected can receive proper treatment as quickly as possible.

Common symptoms of strep throat

  • Severe sore throat
  • Fever
  • Swollen lymph nodes
  • Swollen and red tonsils


What does the home test for strep throat measure?

A Strep A test is an immunological test that detects the presence of Group A Streptococcus bacteria. These bacteria are commonly associated with throat infections such as strep throat.

What is Group A Streptococcus?

Group A Streptococcus, also known as beta-hemolytic streptococci, is a group of bacteria. These bacteria can cause milder infections such as strep throat, impetigo, and erysipelas, but may also lead to more serious conditions such as puerperal fever and blood poisoning. Even in milder infections, antibiotics may be prescribed by a doctor to help prevent complications later on.

Who should use a strep throat test?

The Strep A throat test can be used both professionally and at home. Many people prefer the convenience of performing a home test before visiting a healthcare provider. However, if the rapid test shows the presence of Group A Streptococcus, you should consult a doctor regarding possible antibiotic treatment.

How does a rapid strep throat test work?

The test identifies the presence of Group A Streptococcus, which is a strong indicator of throat infections such as strep throat. Detecting these bacteria is often the first step before starting antibiotic treatment. The test uses a simple extraction process where the sample swab, tongue depressor, and dilution solutions help isolate the Group A Streptococcus bacteria. Results are available within 5 minutes and the test has a reliability of 96.4%. Complete instructions for performing the test are included in the package.

When should I test for strep throat?

With a home test for strep throat, you can easily check for the presence of Group A Streptococcus bacteria from the comfort of your home. If you have symptoms such as a sore throat, pain or difficulty swallowing, body aches, headache, nausea, or other throat-related symptoms, you should consider testing for strep throat.
