Validation of the GenePOC Strep A, C/G Assay for Detecting Group A, C and G β-hemolytic Streptococcus From Throat Swabs.
Prospective Study for Clinical Validation of the Molecular-Based GenePOC Strep A, C/G Assay for the Detection and Identification of Group A β-hemolytic Streptococcus (Streptococcus Pyogenes) and Pyogenic Group C and G β-hemolytic Streptococcus (Streptococcus Dysgalactiae Subsp. Equisimilis) Nucleic Acids From Throat Swab Samples Obtained From Patients With Signs and Symptoms of Pharyngitis.

Brief Summary
The primary purpose of this clinical investigation is to establish the performance of the GenePOC Strep A, C/G assay on the revogene. This will be achieved by comparing the test to a conventional method for detection of Group A β-hemolytic Streptococcus (GAS) and pyogenic Group C and G β-hemolytic Streptococcus (GCS/GGS) in throat swab samples.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Performance characteristics of the GenePOC Streap A, C/G assay
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.
Up to 14 months
Secondary Outcomes (3)

Study Arms (2)
GenePOC testing
EXPERIMENTALThe 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.
Reference Method
ACTIVE COMPARATORThe 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.
Interventions
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.
