Group C and G streptococci infections: emerging challenges

Gail S Williams. Clin Lab Sci. 2003 Fall.

Abstract

New reports of serious complications from Group C (GCS) and Group G streptococci (GGS) with probable respiratory entry have been described. Particularly interesting are cases of toxic shock-like syndrome and rheumatic fever in previously healthy patients. Serious GCS and GGS infections will be missed where selective methods for group A streptococci (GAS) only are used on throat specimens.
