Overview
In the 4th century BC, Hippocrates described the cause of a Scarlet fever epidemic as S. pyogenes (GAS). In 1874, Billroth described streptococcal infection for the first time. In 1879, Louis Pasteur isolated the bacteria from a pregnant woman’s blood who was septic.n that had contracted perpueral fever. In the late 19th century, Rosenbach designated it as S.pyogenes. Blood agar patterns of streptococcal hemolysis was described by the Brown in 1919. Rebecca Lancefield identified distinct serogroups of beta-hemolytic streptococci in the 1930s.[1][2]
