It is important to properly and regularly wash your hands, use hand sanitizer if a sink is not nearby, cover your mouth and nose after coughing and sneezing, and avoid contact with others who have strep throat for at least 24 hours.

Strep throat is most commonly diagnosed among children.

Streptococcal pharyngitis can affect anyone, but children between the ages of 5 and 15 years old tend to be at a higher risk of contracting strep throat. However, adults who are around children often will have an increased risk of contracting strep throat.

Streptococcal pharyngitis is a contagious bacterial infection.

Strep throat can be acquired and spread directly by someone who is infected, due to their bodily fluids, such as saliva. It may also be acquired by respiratory droplets from someone who has strep throat that may cough, sneeze, or even talk, resulting in droplets of bacteria being spread in the surrounding air.
