The Alethia Group A Streptococcus (Group A Strep) assay, performed on the Alethia reader is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test for the detection of Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A β-hemolytic Streptococcus) in throat swab specimens.

• The accuracy and speed of Alethia Group A Strep results helps families return to their busy daily routines as quickly as possible
• Alethia Group A Strep molecular amplification has a 98% sensitivity that has shown to be 53% more sensitive than traditional culture

Alethia Group A Strep can help prevent unncessary antibiotic treatment which can lead to the development of antimicrobial resistance among common pathogens.
