S. Pyogenes can objectively cause nec fasc and toxic shock syndrome, both of which are life threatening. 20-30% of NEC fasc is Type 2 which is primarily S. Pyogenes or Staph.
S.Pyogenes is also one of the main bacteria that cause type 1 nec fasc which is around 70% of cases.
Calling it 'just strep throat bacteria' is inaccurate.
