Fig. 3

Proportions of cultures with positive results (left axis), obtained from patients with a diagnosis of pharyngotonsillitis (2013–2016 combined). The denominator for group A streptococci (or S. pyogenes) and group C or G streptococci (or S. dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis) is the total number of cultures obtained, and for F. necrophorum the total number of cultures actively targeting this species. The overall variation between calendar months was not statistically significant. The proportion of visits associated with a culture (2013–2016 combined) is shown on a separate axis (right). RADT rapid antigen detection test; GAS group A streptococci; GCS group C streptococci; GGS group G streptococci
