Streptococcus belongs to the family of lactobacillacae and the majority is facultative anaerobes. The facultative anaerobic streptococci are divided into two categories:
1. those which produce soluble hemolysin and
2. those which do not produce soluble hemolysin
The first group of streptococci are called β-hemolytic streptococci, which can be further subdivided into group (a), group (b),
group (c) and group (d). It includes most of the species associated with primary streptococcal infections in humans.
The group (a) β-hemolytic streptococci produce various exotoxins such as streptolysin O and streptolysin S that can act as
antigens. The affected individuals produce specific antibodies against streptolysin O, namely Anti-streptolysin O.
Determination of these antibodies is very useful for the diagnosis of streptococcal infections and their relative effects such as
rheumatic fever and acute glomerulonephritis. An elevated ASO titre of more than 200 IU/ml may indicate an acute
streptococcal infection.

1. RHELAX®-ASO reagent: A uniform suspension of polystyrene latex particles coated with streptolysin O. The RHELAX®-ASO reagent is standardized to detect antibodies to streptolysin O in concentrations ranging from 200 IU/ml or more. The
standardization of detection limit of RHELAX®-ASO is traceable to the International Standard for Antistreptolysin ‘O’
(97/662).
2. Positive control, reactive with the RHELAX®-ASO reagent.
3. Negative control, non-reactive with the RHELAX®-ASO reagent.
Each batch of reagents undergoes rigorous quality control at various stages of manufacture for its specificity, sensitivity and
performance
