Answer:

Anti-streptolysin O titer

Step-by-step explanation:

The antibodies work against a substance made by the bacteria called streptolysin O. Group A Streptococcus can cause strep throat. It can also cause other infections that can lead to other conditions that are more severe. This includes rheumatic fever, which most often occurs in children between 5 and 15 years old.
