Factory Introduction
The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by bacteria belonging to the genus Streptococcus and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Pathogenic streptococci are associated with infections, such as sore throat, impetigo (an infection characterized by small pustules on the skin), urinary tract infections, rheumatic fever, and kidney disease.
The Rapid Strep B test kit is a rapid test for the detection of group B streptococci from swabs or culture. The test’s accuracy does not depend on the organism’s viability. Instead, group B strep antigen is extracted directly from the swab and identified using antibodies specific for the group B strep carbohydrate. Its analytical sensitivity is 4500 CFU/ml of Strep B cells.
