Results obtained with the Culturette brand 10-Minute Group A Strep ID system were compared with culture results to measure the ability of this system to detect group A streptococci directly from more than 800 throat swabs. Our study showed a sensitivity of 92.4% and a specificity of 92.8% for this acid extraction, latex agglutination method when compared with anaerobic culturing for group A streptococci. The results suggest that the 10-Minute Group A Strep ID method may prove to be a useful, very rapid and easy method for diagnosing group A streptococcal pharyngitis directly from throat swabs. Further studies are suggested to determine whether this diagnostic method could stand alone or would have to be used in conjunction with culture.
将使用Culturette品牌的10分钟A组链球菌鉴定系统获得的结果与培养结果进行比较，以评估该系统直接从800多个咽拭子中检测A组链球菌的能力。与A组链球菌的厌氧培养相比，我们的研究表明，这种酸提取乳胶凝集法的灵敏度为92.4%，特异性为92.8%。结果表明，10分钟A组链球菌鉴定方法可能是一种直接从咽拭子诊断A组链球菌性咽炎的有用、非常快速且简便的方法。建议进一步研究以确定这种诊断方法是可以单独使用还是必须与培养结合使用。
