ABSTRACT
As a pathogen of public health significance, group A Streptococcus (GAS) infects 18.1 million people and leads to 500 000 deaths all over the world every year.GAS is often transmitted through respiratory droplets and contact with damaged skin.Children, the elderly and immunocompromised people are highly susceptible to GAS infection.Schools, kindergartens, hospitals, nursing homes and other densely populated areas are high-risk areas for GAS transmission.Prevention and control measures should highlight the improvement of living conditions and hand hygiene.Adherence to infection prevention and control measures should be emphasized in high-risk environments.In this paper, the risk factors, prevention and control strategies of GAS infection and transmission were summarized, so as to provide basis for the prevention and control of GAS.
