Hey, Strep throat, which has the full name “Streptococcal pharyngitis” is caused by the group A streptococcus bacterium, which has the full name “Streptococcus pyogenes”. This bacterium can also cause sinusitis (infection of the sinuses), scarlet fever and impetigo. If you have any more questions, let me know. Hope this helps with the project!
