What is Invasive Group A Streptococcus Disease?

0

Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a type of bacteria that is commonly found in the throat and skin. Most infections caused by GAS such as “strep” throat are mild and non-life threatening. However, sometimes this type of bacteria can cause severe illness when it is found in the blood, muscles, or lungs. When GAS is found in these places, the infection is identified as invasive GAS disease.
