The swab will be used for the testing on the revogene using the GenePOC Strep A, C/G assay.

Intervention will be the Comparison between GenePOC CR and Reference Method.

The swab will be used to detect the presence or absence of Strep A, C/G using standard microbiology method.

Intervention will be the Comparison between GenePOC CR and Reference Method.

The collected swab will be tested with both the GenePOC Strep A, C/G assay and the Reference Method defined as standard microbiology culture and strain identification using a MALDI TOF.

To establish the performance characteristics of the GenePOC Strep A, C/G assay for its use in determining the presence of Strep A, C/G in throat swab samples obtained from patients with signs and symptoms of pharyngitis infection.

• Sensitivity will be estimated as the proportion of positives that are correctly identified by the GenePOC Strep A, C/G assay when compared to the Reference Method.
• Specificity will be established as the proportion of negatives that are correctly identified by the GenePOC Strep A, C/G assay when compared to the Reference Method.

To establish the Positive and Negative Predictive Values (PPV and NPV) of the GenePOC Strep A, C/G assay.

PPV will be calculated as the proportion of positive results with the GenePOC Strep A, C/G assay that are true positive results when compared to the Reference Method.

NPV will be calculated as the proportion of negative results with the GenePOC Strep A, C/G assay that are true negative results when compared to the Reference Method.
