An invasive version of strep Group A is on the rise. Dr. Joshua Osowicki, senior research fellow at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute in Australia, shares the risks and steps toward a vaccine.
One such bacteria is Streptococcus Group A, an old enemy that colonizes the throat and tonsils of close to 20% of U.S. children, according to Dr. Joshua Osowicki, team leader and senior research fellow at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute in Melbourne, Australia. "It actually does its damage in severe, life-threatening cases before the patient receives antibiotics."
