Is The Rise of Strep Due to Treatment Failure?
When we last tuned in, I shared some data about what looks like an explosion of strep diagnoses among our clients. Starting in October of 2022 and running through May (even June), the level of strep out in the wild had reached unprecedented levels. T...
