Streptococcus pyogenes is a facultative anaerobic, Gram-positive, chain-forming, coccus-shaped bacterium. It belongs to the Streptococcaceae family.
Clinical symptoms include scarlatina, necrotizing fasciitis (infectious skin disease) or sepsis. In addition, invasive Group A Streptococcus (iGAS) can cause toxic shock syndrome (TSS), which can be associated with multiple organ failure and is fatal in about a quarter of cases.
Streptococcus pyogenes is increasingly resistant to penicillin (PRSP= Penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pyogenes).
The main transmission path is direct or indirect contact with contaminated persons or objects.
