Modes of transmission and attack rates of group A Streptococcal infection: a protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis

Group A Streptococcus (Strep A) is an important cause of mortality and morbidity globally. This bacterium is responsible for a range of different infections and post-infectious sequelae.
