Group A streptcocci or streptoccus pyogenes causes a wide range of diseases in many organs in the body. It is important to classify the infections caused by the bacteria in order to understand every disease separately. Classification of the group A streptococcal infections will be based on the pathogenesis of the infection and the organ infected. According to the pathogenesis of the infection, they can be classified into pyogenic, toxogenic or immunogenic infections. Based on the location, the streptococcus pyogenes affects the lungs, ear, nose, throat, blood, female genital system and the central nervous system. | |||

Overview
Classification
Group A streptcocci or streptoccus pyogenes causes a wide range of diseases in many organs in the body. It is important to classify the infections caused by the bacteria in order to understand every disease separately. Classification of the group A streptococcal infections will be based on the pathogenesis of the infection and the organ infected. According to the pathogenesis of the infection, they can be classified into pyogenic, toxogenic or immunogenic infections. Based on the location, the streptococcus pyogenes affects the lungs, ear, nose, throat, blood, female genital system and the central nervous system.
