We all know that raw, scratchy feeling in the back of the throat. The cause may be as simple as dry winter air, seasonal allergies, or a cold coming on. But sometimes the culprit is strep, a bacterial infection that can be dangerous if untreated.
S. pyogenes is a common cause of strep throat and skin conditions in school children, but the bacteria can also cause severe infections in adults. S. pneumoniae is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality from respiratory tract infections in children and the elderly, and it is also a leading cause of ear infections.
