@marilynthescientist: Throat felt funny. Swabbed myself and found out that Strep pyogenes was TEARING THE F*CK OUTTA MY THROATHOLE. 😭🦠 This Petri dish? FULL of the bacterial menace behind what we all know as Strep Throat. Strep pyogenes (aka Group A Streptococcus) is the #1 cause of strep throat. It releases a lineup of biochemical weapons like: Gram-positive cocci in pairs and chains. Catalase negative. A disk sensitive (bacitracin) 🧨 Streptolysin O & S – destroys red and white blood cells (hello, white pockets in your throat and tonsils) 🧬 M protein – helps it dodge your immune system 🔥 Pyrogenic exotoxins – the reason your throat feels like a fire pit 🧫 Hyaluronidase & streptokinase – breaking down tissues and causing you pain. This is what it looks like in the lab! Yellow gray-ish beta-hemolytic colonies on blood agar, DESTROYING and lysing the red cells in the agar. So if your throat feels like it’s been on fire… get swabbed, fam. It might be this bacterial demon. 📱DM me the word “PASS” on Instagram to pass your ASCP Exam 🧪🥼

My mom is a veteran and gets all her treatment at the VA. When I was about 16, she got strep and went to the doctor to get tested for the diagnosis, the lady asked me if I wanted to see what she could see and when I got over there she’s like “you see all that white sht back there?”😭
