A. StrepQuick™ (Cat. no. Z122) is a card test containing PYR, LAP and esculin for rapid gram-positive, catalase-negative cocci based on pyroglutamate aminopeptidase (PYR), leucine aminopeptidase (LAP), and esculin hydrolysis (ESC) activity. This test kit simplifies identification of Enterococcus spp., group A streptococci (Streptococcus pyogenes), Gemella spp., Aerococcus spp., Leuconostoc spp., and Pediococcus spp. An interpretation can be made within 15 minutes.
