Streptococcus bacteria, which cause strep throat, can survive on fabrics for several hours to days, depending on environmental conditions like humidity and temperature. Generally, they can remain viable for up to 2-3 days on soft surfaces such as clothing and bedding. Regular washing and disinfecting of fabrics can help reduce the risk of transmission.

Strep throat bacteria - how long does it live?

Most people with strep are contagious until they have been on antibiotics 24 - 48 hours. They should stay home from school, daycare, or work until they have been on antibiotics for at least a day. Get a new toothbrush after you are no longer contagious, but before finishing the antibiotics. Otherwise the bacteria can live in the toothbrush and re-infect you when the antibiotics are done. Also, keep your family's toothbrushes and utensils separate, unless they have been washed. If repeated cases of strep still occur in a family, you might check to see if someone is a strep carrier. Carriers have strep in their throats, but the bacteria do not make them sick. Sometimes, treating them can prevent others from getting strep throat.
