Bacteriological analysis for Beta (β)- hemolytic streptococcus of the group (A, B,C, D, F, G, GBS) without determining antibiotic sensitivity
Streptococcal infection is one of the most common nowadays. Depending on the localization of the lesion and the species of streptococcus, the following diseases can be observed:
- Streptococcus pyogenes - which cause Pharyngitis (inflammation of the mucous membrane of the pharynx and tonsils), Tonsillitis (inflammation of the palatine tonsils), wound and skin infections, Scarlatina (acute infectious disease of the upper respiratory tract, accompanied by characteristic rashes on the skin), Pneumonia (inflammatory disease of the lungs), Rheumatic Fever, Glomerulonephritis (inflammatory disease of the kidneys), Endocarditis (very rare).
- S. agalactiae - cause Sepsis, Postpartum or Neonatal Sepsis, Meningitis, skin infections, Endocarditis, Septic Arthritis, urinary tract infections
- S. equi, S. equimilis, S. zooepidemicus, S. canis - cause Pharyngitis, Pneumonia, Cellulitis (deep inflammatory lesions of the skin and subcutaneous tissue), Pyoderma, Rash, Impetigo, wound infections, Postpartum Sepsis, Neonatal Sepsis, Endocarditis, Septic Arthritis.
All these diseases are seriously life-threatening and can have unpredictable consequences if not treated properly, or not treated at all. For example, Tonsillitis (inflammation of the tonsils) very often leads to damage to other organs. The most frequent complications include skin diseases (eczema, psoriasis, etc.), diseases of the genitourinary system, changes in thyroid function, arthritis (inflammation of joint tissue), inflammation of heart tissue (endocarditis, myocarditis).
The analysis has a targeted focus on detecting streptococcal infection only, and the associated microorganisms that may suppress the growth or affect streptococcal colonies are intentionally suppressed.
