How are you? Group A Streptococcus (GAS) bacteria is usually found in the throat and on the skin. It an be asymptomatic or may present with illnesses such as "strep throat,", rheumatic fever, kidney damage or impetigo. You are right in saying that these bacteria can also occasionally cause severe and even life-threatening diseases such as in the case of "invasive GAS diseases" - necrotizing fasciitis and streptococcal toxic shock syndrome.
