Scarlet fever is caused by

Group B Strep
Group A Strep
Enterococcus
Staphylococcus aureus

The correct answer is: Group A Strep

Scarlet fever is caused by a bacterial infection with Group A Streptococcus bacteria, also known as Streptococcus pyogenes. Option A (Group B Strep) is incorrect because this type of bacteria only causes infections in pregnant women and newborns. Option C (Enterococcus) is incorrect because this type of bacteria typically causes infections in the gastrointestinal tract and urinary tract, rather than respiratory infections like scarlet fever. Option D (Staphylococcus aureus) is incorrect because this type of bacteria typically causes skin infections, not respiratory infections like scarlet fever.
