The survival rates of the different groups of S. pyogenes strains are shown in Table 1 . keywords: pyogenes; strains cache: cord-335671-j3wrtsxj.txt plain text: cord-335671-j3wrtsxj.txt item: #45 of 53 id: cord-336909-nnxa5ant author: Guedez-López, Gladys Virginia title: Evaluation of three immunochromatographic tests for rapid detection of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 date: 2020-08-17 words: 3250 flesch: 43 summary: Considering the high rate of false positives when using Prometheus® test, an extra 20 serum samples of randomly selected patients from 2018 were studied as negative controls and the results confirmed a high percentage of false positive with this assay (35%).
