%X Group A streptococci (GAS) are the most common bacterial cause of acute pharyngitis and account for 15¨C30 % of cases of acute pharyngitis in children and 5¨C10 % of cases in adults. In this study, a real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) based GAS detection assay in pharyngeal swab specimens was developed
