Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A common cause of bacterial pharyngitis is group A streptococcal virus,which can lead to serious complications.Both RATs and culture and sensitivity can diagnose this bacterium; however,with an RAT,the health care provider can obtain results in about 15 minutes,and definitive treatment can begin much sooner.A broad-spectrum antibiotic would not be administered before it was determined whether the infection was bacterial.A sputum specimen is needed for lung infection but not for throat infection.
