Advanced PCR Testing for Pharyngitis: Fast, Accurate, and Targeted

Our single swab PCR test detects the most clinically relevant bacterial causes of pharyngitis including Group A Streptococcus, Streptococcus dysgalactiae, and fusobacterium necrophorum.

By identifying the exact pathogen, providers can deliver targeted treatment, improve patient outcomes, and reduce unnecessary antibiotic use.

Why providers choose the Chronetyx Pharyngitis PCR

Fast

Delivers clear, actionable results within a day, enabling timely treatment decisions.

Accurate

Highly sensitive molecular detection identifies pathogens that traditional rapid tests may miss, including non-Group A strep infections.

Efficient

A single, quick throat swab screens for multiple clinically significant pathogens simultaneously.

Millions of Pharyngitis Cases Annually

Group a streptococcus alone causes an estimated 11-13 million cases of strep throat each year in the United States, affecting both children and adults

Beyond Group A Strep

Not all bacterial pharyngitis is caused by Group A Strep

• Streptococcus dysgalactiae (Group C/G) is often overlooked without molecular testing
• Fusobacterium necrophorum is a significant pathogen, especially in adolescents and young adults

Accurate diagnosis matters. Pharyngitis can be caused by multiple bacterial pathogens with overlapping symptoms, making clinical differentiation difficult without testing. PCR provides a reliable, gold-standard method for identifying the true cause of sore throat.
