Type A strep is a type of bacteria known as streptococcus pharyngitis. Type A streptococcus is common bacteria that causes various infections, like strep throat, scarlet fever, and invasive disease. Strep throat is a contamination that affects the throat and tonsils area. The infection is spread from one individual to other through coughing or sneezing. While one can get strep throat at any age, it's mostly common in children 5 to 15. Strep throat are easily treated with antibiotics medication, but if left untreated, strep throat can lead to severe complications. These complications include rheumatic fever, a disease that effects the heart and joints, and glomerulonephritis, a type of kidney disease.

The rapid antigen detection test (RADT) has largely replaced microbiological culturing as the primary method for detecting streptococcal infections in patients with pharyngitis in the USA, except in cases with clear viral symptoms. For children, a throat culture should confirm negative RADT results, while positive RADTs do not require additional culture tests due to their high specificity. Commercial RADTs have a sensitivity of 77% to 98.9% and a specificity of 62% to 100%. Variations in performance may stem from the skill of the testers, subjective interpretation of results, different commercial kits, and culture quality. Given the importance of RADTs in diagnosing acute pharyngitis, more thorough performance evaluations are needed.
