Searching for Strep A in the clinical environment during a human challenge trial: a sub-study protocol
Keywords:
Streptococcus pyogenes; epidemiology; infection; transmission
Abstract:
Streptococcus pyogenes (also known as group A Streptococcus , Strep A) is an obligate human pathogen with significant global morbidity and mortality. Transmission is believed to occur primarily between individuals via respiratory droplets, but knowledge about other potential sources of transmission via aerosols or the environment is limited. Such knowledge is required to design optimal interventions to control transmission, particularly in endemic settings.
