Laboratory diagnosis of Streptococcus pyogenes can be done using several methods, including microscopy, culture, rapid antigen test, and molecular tests such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Specimens for bacteriological investigations can include pus or exudate. Gram staining of pus or exudate is a rapid and presumptive diagnostic procedure. A throat swab culture is the most specific method for diagnosis. A swab sample from your throat can be tested for the presence of S. pyogenes using a rapid antigen test or PCR test. Is
