Fighting Group A Streptococcus

These are worrying times for parents and carers with a higher-than-expected prevalence of Strep A (Group A Streptococcus - GAS) infections this year, with some particularly tragic cases being highlighted in the media. As we are all too aware in rare situations, Streptococcus A infections can become severe and lead to life-threatening complications.

In order to help you fight the spread of group A Streptococcus and Scarlet Fever, Lixall has assembled a group of sanitising, sterilising and disinfecting products that will help minimise the spread of the Streptococcus A bacteria.

We recommend the below products for routine cleaning and disinfection of surfaces and good hand hygiene:

    About Scarlet Fever and Group A Streptococcus (GAS)

    Scarlet fever is a bacterial illness that commonly affects children. The illness is caused by a common human pathogen the Streptococcus pyogenes bacteria, also known as group A Streptococcus, which is found on the skin and in the throat. The bacteria sometimes makes a toxin which causes a red rash - the 'scarlet' of Scarlet Fever.

    Most GAS infections cause relatively mild illnesses such as a sore throat, skin infection (e.g. Impetigo) or Scarlet Fever, all of which can be treated with antibiotics. On rare occasions, these bacteria can enter the bloodstream causing severe and even life-threatening conditions. Unfortunately, we have been seeing a higher than usual number of cases of GAS infections this year.

    GAS infections can be spread by close contact between individuals, through respiratory droplets, direct skin contact and contact with contaminated objects and surfaces. The practice of good hand hygiene by routinely washing hands with soap and water for 20 seconds is highly recommended in order to limit the spread of the Streptococcus bacteria. You should also catch any coughs and sneezes in tissue (or your elbow if you don’t have a tissue at hand) and dispose of used tissues in a bin and wash your hands.

    To help you reduce the spread of infection and facilitate clean disinfection of surfaces and hand hygiene we have selected key cleaning, disinfectants, and alcohol hand sanitiser products that can help in the fight against Strep A and Scarlet fever.
