A rapid strep test, also known as a rapid antigen detection test (RADT), can detect group A strep antigens. Results are available in 10-20 minutes.Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved molecular tests that can detect genetic material from group A strep bacteria in throat swab specimens in less than 8 minutes. rapid strep test, also known as a rapid antigen detection test (RADT), can detect group A strep antigens. Results are available in 10-20 minutes.
