Abstract:
Group A Streptococcus(GAS) is a very important pathogen, especially for children.GAS may cause more kinds of diseases than any other microorganism and involve many disciplines.Since penicillin was discovered and widely used in the 1940s, bacterial infectious diseases have been conquered, and the incidence rate has decreased.However, the occurrence of antibiotics resistance is becoming more and more serious, and some bacterial infectious diseases have a rising trend.In recent years, GAS infection and disease have also been reported in a small range.There are not many Chinese people who pay attention to GAS, especially those who study GAS.They do not have enough understanding of GAS, which leads to some misunderstandings.There are still many questions about GAS that no one can explain so far.Therefore, we call for attention to GAS and GAS diseases.
