In vitro evaluation of five rapid antigen detection tests for group A beta-haemolytic streptococcal sore throat infections.
BACKGROUND: Using accurate and easy to use rapid antigen detection tests (RADTs) to identify group A beta-haemolytic Streptococci (GABHS) sore throat infections could reduce unnecessary antibiotic prescribing and antimicrobial resistance. Although there is no international consensus on the use of RA...
