History of Strep Throat
Past There is no definite discovery date of strep throat, due to the fact that medical technology wasn't advanced enough to identify the bacteria that caused it, Streptococcus Pyogenes. So medical researchers began to review historical records that included data about a very similar bacterial strand called Streptococcus pyonenes, which causes Scarlet Fever and other diseases. A strand of the bacteria was isolated in 1879 by Louis Pasteur from a woman that had contracted Perpueral Fever. Several years later, a scientist by the name of Loffler named the strand Streptococcus pyonenes, a strand with very similar qualities to Streptococcus pyogenes.
